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.
