Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated nasal septum.
Anyone with persistent nasal congestion due to a deviated septum that is not responsive to medical therapy is a great candidate for a septoplasty.
Septoplasty can be done under general anesthesia or in the office under IV sedation.
The deviated portions of septal cartilage and bone are accessed through an incision inside the nostril. We then trim, straighten, or reposition the septum into the proper midline position.
Splints that stay in place for 5 days may be needed to stabilize the septum as it heals.
Patients may have nasal congestion, pain, and headaches for a few days after surgery. Most people can return to normal non-strenuous activities in 3-5 days. No heavy lifting should be done for 2 weeks. Complete healing takes around 6-8 weeks.
