Septoplasty

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to fix a deviated nasal septum—the wall of bone and cartilage that divides your nostrils. When the septum is crooked or displaced, it can cause nasal blockage, difficulty breathing, frequent sinus infections, and other symptoms. Septoplasty helps restore proper airflow and improve nasal function.

What Is a Deviated Septum?

A deviated septum means the septum is shifted to one side, narrowing the nasal passage and sometimes blocking airflow. It may be congenital or caused by injury.

Common symptoms include:

• Nasal congestion or blockage

• Difficulty breathing through the nose

• Nosebleeds

• Snoring or noisy breathing

• Facial pain or headaches

When symptoms persist or don’t respond to medication, septoplasty may be the best option.

Who Should Consider Septoplasty?

Septoplasty is recommended for those who have:

• Persistent nasal obstruction

• Difficulty breathing through the nose affecting sleep or daily life

• Recurring sinus infections related to nasal blockage

• Nasal trauma causing deviation

• Chronic nosebleeds caused by septal irritation

An ENT specialist will diagnose and determine if surgery is suitable after a nasal exam and imaging if needed.

Recovery and Aftercare

Mild swelling, nasal congestion, and discomfort are common after surgery. Nasal splints or packing may be used briefly to support healing.

Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks, initially avoiding strenuous exercise. Follow-up  appointments ensure proper healing. Saline sprays and avoiding nose blowing aid recovery.

Risks and Considerations

While safe, septoplasty carries some risks:

• Bleeding or infection

• Persistent nasal blockage

• Septal perforation (rare)

• Changes in nasal shape (very rare)

Your surgeon will discuss these risks and take precautions to reduce them.
