Is Surgery Required For A Nose Bend When Diagnosed With Sinusitis?
Hi doctor, I am having a runny nose.... when consulted with ent specialist.. he declared it is sinusitis. he gave nasal spray.. during my second visit he asked me to take a ct-scan... after checking CT scan...he said there is nose bend...and need to do surgery.... is surgery needed for this problem...? what happen if no surgery......?
You have history of rhinitis. Now you are diagnosed with sinusitis and CT shows nose bend. Looks like you have a deviated nasal septum that is causing sinusitis and other symptoms. Correction is commonly surgery but it can also be corrected by dermal fillers also called liquid rhinoplasty or non surgical rhinoplasty. Dermal filler injections can reshape nose without the need for surgery. You can have it done at any ENT, skin clinics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
