Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct the cartilage and bone structure inside the nose called the septum. The primary goal of this operation is to improve breathing function; aesthetics are not the primary concern.
How is the procedure performed?
- It is performed from inside the nose using a closed technique.
- There are no visible external incisions.
- It takes an average of 45–90 minutes.
- It can be performed under general or local anesthesia.
Who is it suitable for?
- Those who experience constant nasal congestion
- Those who have a habit of breathing through their mouth
- Patients who experience recurrent sinusitis or headaches
Important information:
Septoplasty does not change the shape of the nose; additional procedures may be necessary for patients with aesthetic expectations.
