Trusted Treatment for Long-Term Relief from Nasal Obstruction
What Is Septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated septum—a condition where the wall (septum) dividing the nasal passages is misaligned or shifted away from the center. This deviation can obstruct airflow, making it difficult to breathe, and may contribute to sinus infections, nosebleeds, snoring, and poor sleep quality.
Septoplasty is performed to improve airflow, ease nasal congestion, and support healthy nasal function in patients with a deviated septum.
When to Consider Septoplasty
You may be a candidate for septoplasty if you experience:
- Chronic nasal congestion unresponsive to medication
- Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils
- Frequent sinus infections or postnasal drainage
- Sleep disturbances, including snoring or mild obstructive sleep apnea
- Recurring nosebleeds or nasal discomfort
A thorough ENT evaluation can confirm whether septoplasty is appropriate based on your anatomy and symptoms.
Recovery and Healing
Most patients recover comfortably at home. Here’s what to expect:
- Mild swelling, congestion, or discomfort during the first few days/span>
- Pain medication may be prescribed as needed
- Nasal packing may be used temporarily in some cases/span>
- Follow-up visit within a week to ensure proper healing/span>
- Avoid strenuous activities for a short period as advised by your provider/span>
Healing time varies, but many patients report noticeable breathing improvement within weeks.
Risks and Considerations
Septoplasty is generally safe, but like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Persistent nasal obstruction
- Changes in nasal shape
- Need for revision surgery (in rare cases)
Your ENT surgeon will review all risks and benefits during your consultation and help you make an informed decision.
