Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct a deviated nasal septum - the wall that divides the nose into two nostrils. When the septum is bent or crooked, it can cause breathing difficulties, nasal blockage, snoring, sinus infections, or nosebleeds. Septoplasty straightens the septum, improving airflow and nasal function.
Septoplasty is a surgery to correct the alignment of the nasal septum by removing or repositioning the cartilage and bone that block the nasal passage. It is often performed under local or general anesthesia.
It is recommended when a deviated septum causes:
Yes. Septoplasty is a safe and effective procedure performed by ENT specialists. Complications are rare and may include minor bleeding, infection, or temporary nasal swelling.
No. Septoplasty is done inside the nose and does not change the external appearance. However, if cosmetic reshaping is desired, it can be combined with rhinoplasty (called septorhinoplasty).
