Septoplasty / Nasal Airway Opening

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to straighten the nasal septum—the cartilage and bone dividing the nasal passages. By correcting a deviated septum, septoplasty improves nasal airflow and breathing function, providing relief for patients with nasal obstruction.

This surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis at our facility. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty when both functional and aesthetic improvements are desired.

During your initial consultation, we will review your medical history and conduct a thorough physical exam to evaluate your nasal anatomy and breathing. If necessary, radiographic imaging will be performed on-site to assist with surgical planning.

Postoperatively, patients may have a nasal splint in place for about one week, depending on the extent of surgery. Swelling is expected when the splint is removed but will gradually improve over the following weeks and months. Although postoperative discomfort is usually minimal, nasal congestion and stuffiness are common during early recovery. Nasal breathing may feel restricted initially due to swelling but typically improves steadily as healing progresses.

Your surgeon will provide detailed, individualized postoperative instructions to support optimal healing and ensure the best possible outcome. Septoplasty can significantly improve nasal breathing and enhance overall quality of life for appropriately selected patients.
