Nasal Congestion Treatment in Dr. Argentina Vidrașcu
About the clinic
Nasal congestion care at Dr. Argentina Vidrașcu in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, includes diagnostic checks and functional nasal surgery. A free online video consultation is available; septorhinoplasty with turbinate radiofrequency may cost around $5,000–$10,000. Dr. Argentina Vidrașcu has over 20 years of rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty experience and holds ISAPS credentials.
Assessment and diagnostics
Nasal endoscopy is included in every consultation, alongside a photo-based simulation of possible surgical results. A nasal pyramid X-ray may be used after trauma or with significant septum deviation or enlarged turbinates. Before surgery, patients need laboratory tests and a medical letter from their family doctor.
Treatments for nasal congestion
- Radiofrequency turbinate reduction (RFTR). This office-based procedure treats enlarged turbinates that have not improved with sprays, decongestants, or allergy medicine. Under local anesthesia, radiofrequency energy reduces tissue and opens airflow. It takes 15–30 minutes per side, with no overnight stay. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days; congestion may take about three weeks to fully clear. Aftercare includes saline rinses and nasal steroid sprays.
- Septoplasty. Small incisions inside the nose allow the surgeon to straighten or remove parts of a deviated septum. This outpatient surgery can improve airflow and relieve congestion, snoring, and sleep apnea symptoms. Normal activities usually resume within a few weeks.
- Septorhinoplasty with radiofrequency assistance. This combines reshaping the outer nose with correction of the inner septum. Options include open, preservation, revision, and closed surgery for minor touch-ups. The operation uses general anesthesia and takes about 1.5–2 hours, followed by one night under medical supervision. Radiofrequency can reduce bleeding, swelling, and bruising; nasal packing or tubes are not needed. Bruising may last up to seven days, swelling about one month, and the final result may take about a year.
- Combined turbinate treatment and septorhinoplasty. Turbinates can be treated during septorhinoplasty or separately, addressing breathing and nasal appearance in one session when combined.
After septorhinoplasty, aftercare includes daily nasal washing with ointment. Suture removal and turbinate cleaning take place after 10–14 days, with follow-up checks at six and 12 months. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss the available options.

Dr. Argentina Vidrașcu: more details about the clinic
Dr. Argentina Vidrașcu is a private single-specialty medical practice established in 2023. The clinic operates across two locations in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and Marbella, Spain. The practice focuses exclusively on plastic, reconstructive, and functional nasal surgery.
Professional Achievements and Accreditations
The clinic is led by Dr. Argentina Vidrașcu, a Doctor of Medical Sciences. She has around 20 years of experience in rhinoplasty. The practice holds accreditation from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
Dr. Vidrașcu previously served as President of the Romanian Society of Aesthetic Surgery. She currently sits on the ISAPS Ethics Committee and the ISAPS Women's Committee. Her training includes advanced septorhinoplasty work under Dr. Hossam Foda in Egypt.
The clinic maintains strong patient satisfaction. It currently holds 100+ five-star ratings on public review platforms. This feedback reflects the focus on natural results and improved breathing.
Rhinoplasty and Nasal Reconstruction
The practice provides surgical care for aesthetic and functional nasal concerns. Every consultation includes nasal endoscopy to evaluate internal structures. Photo-based simulations during the first visit show potential outcomes.
Surgeons perform several types of nasal interventions:
- Open septorhinoplasty for correcting severe septum deviation and external deformities.
- Preservation rhinoplasty, which keeps natural anatomy by removing only surplus tissue.
- Secondary rhinoplasty to correct results from previous surgeries.
- Reconstructive rhinoplasty for cheiloschisis syndrome (cleft lip nasal deformity).
- Male rhinoplasty designed to refine the nose while keeping masculine facial features.
The clinic emphasizes long-term postoperative supervision. Recovery protocols include saline nasal irrigation to hydrate the mucosa and ease breathing.
Treatment for Nasal Obstruction
For patients with chronic nasal congestion, the clinic offers radiofrequency turbinate reduction (RFTR). This procedure treats enlarged nasal turbinates that block airflow. It is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
RFTR is performed under local anesthesia and takes 15–30 minutes per side. Radiofrequency energy causes minimal bleeding, so recovery is short. Patients see immediate functional improvement without extensive downtime.
Reconstructive Surgery in Marbella
Dr. Vidrașcu performs surgical removal of skin tumors and carcinomas at Cirumed Clinic in Marbella. These procedures focus on complete tumor excision followed by aesthetic reconstruction. The goal is to preserve the face's natural appearance after cancer treatment.
Specialists plan these reconstructions to minimize scarring and maintain facial symmetry. This service combines oncological safety with plastic surgery principles.
Medical Equipment and Technology
The clinic uses radiofrequency-supported techniques across its surgical pathway. This technology reduces tissue trauma during operations. Lower trauma means less bruising and faster healing.
High-resolution endoscopic equipment supports diagnostics. This allows the surgeon to identify internal causes of breathing difficulties. Common findings include septum deviation or turbinate hypertrophy. Photo simulation software aligns patient expectations with surgical possibilities.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients with support in English, Spanish, and Romanian. For major procedures like septorhinoplasty, installment payment options help manage costs.
Patients traveling to Marbella have access to premium accommodation as part of their care. The medical team provides digital educational materials and webinars to prepare for surgery. Long-term follow-up happens through scheduled postoperative consultations.
