How soon can I return to work?

Most patients return to office work or studies within 7 to 10 days, right after external splint removal.

Will my voice change after surgery?

If you had chronic nasal blockage, a congested or hyponasal voice often becomes clearer and more resonant after airflow is restored.

Is the surgery performed under safe general anesthesia?

Yes, our certified anesthesiologists monitor all vital parameters continuously in a modern operating theater adhering to strict European standards.

About the procedure: Rhinoseptoplasty

Rhinoseptoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure combining septoplasty (correcting the deviated nasal septum to restore clear breathing) with rhinoplasty (refining external nasal aesthetics to achieve facial balance). At Novus ORL Clinic in Prishtina, our ENT and facial plastic surgeons utilize atraumatic micro-dissection techniques that preserve nasal structural integrity while enabling comfortable post-operative breathing through breathable silicone splints.

Clinical indications: when is surgery needed?

Marked nasal septum deviation causing unilateral or bilateral airway obstruction
Chronic nasal blockage especially during sleep or physical exertion
Snoring, morning dry mouth, and obstructive sleep issues related to nasal resistance
Recurrent sinus infections secondary to poor nasal ventilation
Post-traumatic nasal deformities or aesthetic dissatisfaction with the nasal profile

Key patient benefits & outcomes

Effortless, natural nasal airflow day and night
Restorative sleep quality and significant reduction in snoring
Natural, harmonious facial profile without compromising airway function
Comfortable recovery with zero painful gauze removal

Surgical procedure step-by-step

1. Endoscopic assessment & imaging

Detailed video-nasoendoscopy of nasal anatomy, septum analysis, and photographic documentation.

2. Micro-surgical correction

Conducted under general anesthesia to straighten the septum, reduce enlarged turbinates, and sculpt the osteocartilaginous framework.

3. Breathable silicone splints

Application of soft internal silicone stents with integrated airflow channels, eliminating traditional painful packing.

4. Gentle post-operative follow-up

Splint removal after 6–7 days with saline irrigation guidance and progressive recovery monitoring.

Post-operative recovery timeline
