What Is Septoplasty?

This specialized ENT surgery corrects a deviated nasal septum, often linked to breathing difficulties, sinus infections, or turbinate enlargement. Performed endoscopically under local or general anesthesia, septoplasty reshapes or repositions the septum to improve airflow. Using precise techniques, it addresses structural issues, ensuring minimal invasiveness while restoring nasal function and alleviating symptoms like congestion or snoring for lasting comfort.

Septoplasty benefits

What Are the Benefits?

  • Restored nasal airflow for seamless breathing
  • Reduced sinus infections, snoring, and congestion
  • Improved sleep quality and overall vitality
  • Minimally invasive with no external scars
  • Quick recovery with lasting functional results
  • Enhanced comfort through tailored surgical care

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The process begins with a nasal assessment, often using endoscopy or imaging. Under local or general anesthesia, an incision inside the nostril allows the surgeon to lift the mucosal lining, reshape or remove deviated septal portions, and reposition the septum. The procedure, lasting 30–60 minutes, uses precise techniques to restore alignment, ensuring a comfortable experience with optimal outcomes.

What to Expect During Recovery

Post-surgery, mild swelling or congestion may occur, resolving within 1–7 days. Nasal packing or splints, if used, are removed after about a week. Follow aftercare, such as saline rinses or avoiding strenuous activity for 3 weeks. Most patients resume work or school in 7–10 days, with breathing improving rapidly and full benefits evident in 2–4 weeks. Follow-ups ensure optimal healing.
