Septoplasty
UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT
Septoplasty
A Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that straightens the wall of cartilage and bone (the septum) dividing the two nasal passages. It's typically considered when a deviated septum is significantly affecting breathing or contributing to other sinus and sleep issues. The nasal septum is the wall of cartilage and bone that separates the two sides of the nose. When it is significantly crooked or displaced, it can restrict airflow and contribute to ongoing congestion, mouth breathing and disrupted sleep. Septoplasty corrects the obstruction inside the nose while generally preserving its external appearance.
WHAT TO EXPECT
understanding the procedure
Performed as outpatient surgery, typically in 30 to 90 minutes, the surgeon works entirely through the nostrils to reshape the deviated cartilage and bone, then repositions the nasal lining; splints or light packing may be used temporarily to support healing. The result is improved nasal airflow and easier breathing, which can also help reduce snoring and improve sleep quality — recovery is generally straightforward, with most patients resuming normal activity within one to two weeks.
