Septoplasty in Turkey
Improve your breathing and nasal function with septoplasty surgery to correct a deviated septum.
What is Septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum - a condition where the nasal septum (the wall between the nostrils) is crooked or off-center. This can cause breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, and other symptoms. Septoplasty straightens the septum to improve airflow through the nose.
When is Septoplasty Needed?
Septoplasty is recommended when a deviated septum causes chronic nasal obstruction, difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, frequent sinus infections, nosebleeds, facial pain, or sleep disturbances. It can be performed alone or in combination with rhinoplasty.
The Septoplasty Procedure
Septoplasty is typically performed under general or local anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision inside the nose, repositions or removes the deviated portion of the septum, and straightens it. The procedure usually takes 30-90 minutes and is performed entirely through the nostrils with no external incisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Septoplasty
How long is the recovery?
Most patients can return to work within 3-5 days. You may have nasal packing or splints for a few days. Full recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks, with complete healing taking several months. Breathing improvement is usually noticeable once swelling subsides.
Will septoplasty change the appearance of my nose?
Septoplasty is a functional procedure that focuses on the internal structure of the nose. It typically doesn't change the external appearance. However, if you also want cosmetic changes, it can be combined with rhinoplasty in a procedure called septorhinoplasty.
