How is a deviated septum diagnosed? (photo)

Doctor's Answers 1

Hi Xiang Yin

ENT surgeons will do a thorough examination of your nose, including a video nasoendoscopy (nose scope) to asses if you have a deviated septum.

Sometimes, it is obvious like the photo below.

But in many patients, the deviation can only be seen with the video nasoendoscopy that all ENT specialists have in their clinic.

Is HIFU good for firming the skin?

There are many methods for firming up loose or saggy skin. They range from completely non-invasive, to minimally invasive and lastly surgical face-lift. Aesthetic clinics offer up to minimally invasive options for those who do not want surgery (due to scarring, anesthesia risks and stigma). These include: 1. Lasers or radiofrequency (usually more for upper skin layers) 2. Threadlifts (usually for fat sagging) 3. HIFU (tightens from deep ligamental areas to fat and even surface skin) 4. Botox (relaxes the depressor muscles on the face and neck to help with a gentle lift) 5.

How can I get defined cheekbones without surgery?

Hi, For non-surgical cheek bone augmentation, this can be easily achieved with fillers. With proper placement, a mid-face lift can also be achieved, together with more defined cheek bones. Nonetheless, a consult would be ideal so that a more accurate assessment can be done first and the appropriate treatment advised. Hope that helps. All the best!
