Septoplasty

During a septoplasty, the best sinus surgeon in Beverly Hills, Dr. Shamouelian, makes an incision on one side of the nose to access the septum. The surgeon lifts the mucous membrane and repositions the deviated septum. Extra pieces of bone or cartilage may need to be removed before the mucous membrane and septum can be stitched back in place. Some patients may need to have their nose packed with cotton to ensure a full recovery.

Septorhinoplasty

A septorhinoplasty is done to correct a deviated septum and address nasal obstruction. During surgery, Dr. Shamouelian makes an incision on the mucosa and removes excess cartilage and bone. Dr. Shamouelian will typically need to break the bone in order to correct the nose position. Some patients may need a cartilage graft, bone graft or an artificial implant to support or rebuild a part of their nose. After a successful septorhinoplasty, patients will be able to breathe easier through their nose.

LATERA Implants

LATERA implants are absorbable, latex-free nasal implants designed to support the upper and lower cartilage inside the lateral wall of the nose. LATERA implants may be an option for patients who have difficulty sleeping, difficulty breathing through the nose, nasal congestion or stuffiness, or difficulty breathing through the nose during exercise or exertion. Patients should contact the best sinus surgeon in Beverly Hills, Dr. Shamouelian, to find out if they qualify for LATERA implants.

Turbinates help filter, warm and moisturize the air that is inhaled. Enlarged, swollen or displaced turbinates can cause a nasal blockage, restricting air flow and making it difficult to breathe. Nasal turbinate reduction can be performed through cauterization, radiofrequency reduction, coblation or surgical removal. Turbinate reduction surgery typically takes about 10 minutes and involves using a needle-like device to heat the turbinates and reduce the size of the turbinates.
Endoscopic surgery is performed to improve airflow through the nose, improve a patient’s sense of smell, alleviate symptoms associated with sinusitis, and reduce the number and severity of sinus infections. During surgery, the surgeon will use an endoscope to help visualize and magnify the sinus tissues. Dr. Shamouelian, the best sinus surgeon in Beverly Hills, will then remove natural blockages, nasal polyps and scar tissue, as well as straighten the septum and reduce the size of the turbinates (if the patient has a deviated septum or turbinate hypertrophy).
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure recommended for patients with chronic sinusitis. The procedure doesn’t involve any cutting or loss of nasal tissues or bone, allowing for a quick recovery. During surgery, Dr. Shamouelian inserts a wire with a tiny light at the end into the patient’s sinus cavity. He then inserts a balloon catheter into the passageway and slowly inflates it to expand the sinus opening. Patients experiencing symptoms of chronic sinusitis should contact the best sinus surgeon in Beverly Hills, Dr. Shamouelian to find out if they are candidates for balloon sinuplasty.
