Septoplasty (Deviated Septum Surgery)

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated septum, a common issue that can obstruct the nasal airway, making breathing difficult. If you've been struggling with chronic nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, or recurrent sinus infections, septoplasty could bring you relief.

Septoplasty for healthy breathing, day and night.

Septoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to straighten the septum, the partition separating the nostrils. Repositioning the septum can significantly improve airflow and alleviate symptoms like snoring, sleep apnea, and chronic nasal congestion. Many patients experience a remarkable improvement in their quality of life after undergoing septoplasty.

What is the recovery after septoplasty?

Recovery from septoplasty is usually uneventful, with this timeline:

Immediate post-op (First 24 hours): After your septoplasty procedure, it's crucial to have a trusted individual drive you home, as the effects of anesthesia may still be present. You should plan to spend the initial 24 hours in a calm, restful environment. During this period, you may experience some discomfort, but our team will ensure you have the necessary pain management strategies in place to minimize it.
Week 1: During the first week following septoplasty, it's common to experience congestion, as your nasal passages adapt to the changes made during the surgery. This congestion should gradually improve as the days pass. It's possible to encounter some swelling and bruising in the nasal area, but these effects will gradually subside.
Weeks 2-4: By the end of the second week and into the fourth week, many patients find that they can return to work and resume their regular daily activities. However, it's essential to avoid strenuous exercise and activities that could put excessive strain on your nasal passages during this period. Rest and self-care remain essential to ensure a smooth recovery.
Week 6: At this stage, the majority of the swelling and discomfort you may have experienced during the initial phases of recovery should have subsided. You'll likely notice a significant improvement in your ability to breathe through your nose, contributing to an enhanced quality of life. Many patients are ready to return to their usual exercise routines and more strenuous activities at this point.
Long-term: The benefits of septoplasty continue to evolve over the long term. As your septum heals and your nasal passages adjust, you'll experience a gradual improvement in your breathing. The full extent of the improvement can take several months as your body continues to adapt to the corrected septum. Over time, you'll enjoy a more open airway and relief from the symptoms that prompted you to consider septoplasty in the first place.
