How Septal Button (Silicone/PTFE) Insertion is performed
This treatment involves placing a double-disc shaped silicone or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) device in the perforation to mechanically cover the defect. Usually, the size of the perforation is measured under local or general anesthesia, the edges are trimmed if necessary, and a suitable model is selected. After one side is compressed and placed, it is fastened and fixed with the component on the opposite side, and ventilation and comfort are checked. Postoperative observation of bleeding, irritation, and positional stability is performed, with the goal of reducing crusting and bleeding. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
