    Who Is a Candidate?

    You may be a candidate if you experience nasal obstruction, difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, frequent nosebleeds, or chronic congestion.

    Septoplasty is often recommended when a deviated septum interferes with normal breathing, sleep quality, or daily activity.

    How sinus surgery works

    How Septoplasty Works

    Septoplasty is performed entirely through the nostrils without external incisions.

    The mucosal lining is gently lifted to expose the underlying cartilage and bone. The deviated portions are reshaped or removed, and the septum is repositioned to improve airflow.

    The nasal lining is then returned to its original position to allow proper healing.

    Procedure and Recovery

    The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia.

    After surgery, patients are discharged the same day once the effects of anesthesia wear off. Temporary congestion, and mild drainage is expected during recovery.

    Most patients resume light activity within a few days, and resume to full activity in one to two weeks.

    What Our Patients Say

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a deviated septum?
    It is a misalignment of the wall between the nasal passages that can block airflow.
    Is septoplasty painful?
    The procedure is performed under anesthesia. Mild discomfort may occur within the first few days and improves quickly.
    How long is the recovery?
    Most patients return to light activity within a few days, and full activity in 2 wks.
    Will it improve breathing?
    Yes. The goal is to restore proper airflow and reduce obstruction.
    Are there non-surgical options?
    Some symptoms can be managed temporarily, but septoplasty corrects the structural issue causing obstruction.
