Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated nasal septum – the wall between the two nostrils. A deviated septum can cause breathing difficulties, frequent nosebleeds, and sinus infections. Septoplasty aims to straighten the septum, improving airflow and relieving nasal obstruction. The procedure is typically performed under general or local anesthesia and is often completed within an hour. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a week. If you're experiencing chronic nasal congestion or difficulty breathing through your nose, septoplasty may be an effective long-term solution.
