This page explains whether septoplasty is the right option, how procedure is done and expected recovery.
Septoplasty is performed to correct a deviated nasal septum (DNS) by straightening the internal wall of bone and cartilage that separates your two nasal passages.
When the septum is significantly bent, it can restrict airflow and cause persistent nasal blockage, difficulty breathing through the nose, recurrent sinus infections, or disturbed sleep.
Septoplasty improves nasal airflow by correcting the underlying structural problem. Because the surgery is performed entirely inside the nose, it does not change the external shape or appearance of the nose.
Septoplasty is done for many reasons. Most important reason to perform this surgery is to correct deviated nasal septum that is causing symptoms.
If you are suffering from symptoms of deviated nasal septum and it is impacting your daily life, an expert evaluation will determine if septoplasty surgery is the right solution for you.

Recovery after septoplasty varies from patient to patient.
Typically, there may be mild discomfort, nasal congestion, and mild blood mixed drainage for a few days after the procedure.
Pain medication and nasal irrigation/saline nasal sprays are recommended to manage symptoms.
Most patients notice gradual improvement in breathing as swelling settles over several weeks, with full healing taking a few months.
Most people can resume normal activities within a week, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 2 weeks to allow for proper healing.
Follow ups are needed to remove the splints or pack and suction cleaning.
If a deviated nasal septum is contributing to recurrent or chronic sinus infections, septoplasty can be combined with FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) in a single session maximizing your results.
This improves nasal airflow while restoring normal sinus drainage, avoiding the need for two separate surgeries.
