Nasal Polyp Surgery: Royal Aesthetic Surgery✓

Nasal polyps are a common but often overlooked health problem that can significantly affect the quality of everyday life. Although benign in nature, their presence can lead to serious breathing difficulties, sleep disturbances, chronic nasal congestion, and even loss of smell. When conventional therapy does not provide the expected relief, surgery for nasal polyps becomes the best and most effective solution.
At the Royal Aesthetic Surgery in Belgrade, this procedure is performed using modern endoscopic techniques that allow precision, safety, and faster recovery.

What are nasal polyps and how do they develop?

Nasal polyps are painless, soft growths that develop on the mucous membrane of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Although not cancerous, their presence can cause numerous discomforts, especially when they grow and block the normal airflow through the nasal passages.

They most often arise as a result of chronic inflammatory processes. These include conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic sinusitis, hypersensitivity of the mucous membrane, or a genetic predisposition. Polyps occur more frequently in people with recurrent respiratory infections or in those who are exposed for prolonged periods to irritating substances from the environment.

Understanding the causes and nature of polyps is crucial for their successful treatment. Although they can be controlled with medications, in many cases surgery is the only way to permanently resolve the problem and prevent recurrence of symptoms.

Symptoms and consequences of nasal polyps

Nasal polyps do not always cause symptoms in the early stages. However, as they grow, they begin to interfere with the basic functions of the respiratory system.

The most common symptoms include:

• chronic nasal congestion
• difficulty breathing through the nose
• reduced or complete loss of smell
• frequent headaches and a sense of pressure in the sinuses
• sleep disturbance and loud snoring

In addition to physical discomforts, many patients report fatigue, irritability, and even loss of appetite due to reduced sense of smell.

Ignoring the symptoms can lead to more serious complications such as repeated sinus infections or chronic inflammation of the airways. Timely diagnosis and treatment are key to preserving health and quality of life.

When is nasal polyp surgery necessary?

Although polyps can initially be treated with medication, there are situations when conservative therapy is no longer sufficient.

Surgery is recommended in the following cases:

• when medications (sprays, corticosteroids, antihistamines) do not produce results
• if the polyps obstruct breathing and cause a feeling of “blockage” in the nose
• in case of frequent sinus infections that become chronic
• when sleep disturbances and snoring are present
• if there has been a reduction or loss of sense of smell
• when symptoms significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life

In such circumstances, the surgical intervention represents the best option for a long-term solution. Thanks to modern methods, the procedure is safe, precise, and allows for a speedy recovery.

What does nasal polyp surgery look like?

Fear of surgery is common among patients, but in modern medicine this procedure is considered routine and minimally invasive, especially when performed by endoscopic technique.

At Royal Aesthetic Surgery Belgrade the operation is carried out with the help of an endoscope – a thin camera that provides a detailed view of the inside of the nose and sinuses. Special micro-instruments are introduced through the nasal passages through which the polyps are carefully removed.

The procedure is done under general anesthesia, lasts between 30 minutes and one hour, and the patient can leave the clinic on the same or the next day. The absence of external incisions means there are no visible scars nor a need for long recovery.

The endoscopic method brings precision, minimal tissue trauma, and reduces risk of complications. It also allows better insight into the condition of the sinuses, which further contributes to the success of the intervention.

Recovery after surgery

Recovery after nasal polyp surgery is simple and fast, especially when the patient follows the doctor’s recommendations and attends regular follow-up check‑ups.

In the first days after the procedure, the following may occur:

• mild nasal congestion
• feeling of discomfort
• increased secretion discharge
• occasional mild headaches

Most patients fully recover within 7 to 14 days. During this period, it is important to avoid exertion, dust, smoking and being in polluted environments. The physician will prescribe mild therapy to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.

When the postoperative course is properly followed, the results of surgery are extremely successful – breathing normalizes, sleep improves, and the sensation of pressure in the sinuses disappears.
