What is Septoplasty?

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the wall of the nose called the septum. Septoplasty corrects the functional problems of the partition between the nostrils while providing an aesthetic appearance to the nasal structure. A deviation of the septum causes nasal obstruction and impedes the flow of air. For this reason, septoplasty is the procedure of choice for people who want to permanently correct a deviated septum and improve their breathing function.

Who Needs Septoplasty?

People who have a curvature in the partition between the nostrils and have difficulty breathing because of the slippage need septoplasty surgery. Suitable candidates for septoplasty surgery can be listed as follows

• Those with severe nasal congestion
• Those with recurrent sinusitis
• Those with nasal airway problems
• People who suffer from snoring and sleep apnoea
  
  

How is Septoplasty Surgery Done?

Septoplasty is an operation that takes about 1 hour. Under general anaesthetic, an incision is made to access the nasal septum and the position of the septum is corrected. If there is extra cartilage or bone in the nose, it will be removed and reshaped. Finally, an aesthetic suture is applied. It is important to remember that these stages vary depending on the type of surgery.

What are the Advantages of Septoplasty?

The biggest advantage of septoplasty is that the surgery improves respiratory functions. However, the nasal structures of patients whose breathing problems are solved are reshaped in the size and appearance they want.

Is Septoplasty Painful?

Septoplasty is not a painful procedure. General anesthesia is used during the operation, so the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort. The pain that occurs after septoplasty is such that it can be treated with painkillers. Possible side effects such as edema, bruising and swelling are normal and usually disappear on their own within a few days without medication.

Preparing for a Septoplasty

The preparation phase before septoplasty is as critical to the success of aesthetics as postoperative care. The things to be done in the preparation phase for septoplasty surgery are as follows:

• Blood thinners and herbal teas should not be used up to 2 weeks before septoplasty surgery as they may cause possible complications.
  
  
• Septoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Therefore, the patient should fast before the procedure. Details about nutrition are explained to the patient by the specialist team.
  
  
• Smoking and alcohol should be stopped at least 2 weeks before septoplasty. Alcohol and smoking increase the risk of infection and negatively affect the outcome of the operation.
  
  
• After the surgery, you will be hospitalized overnight. For this reason, patients are advised to bring their personal belongings to the hospital for septoplasty.
  
  

Septoplasty Recovery

After septoplasty, your breathing will improve immediately. However, aesthetics and the general healing process may be a little slower. After septoplasty, a tampon is placed in the nose to prevent bleeding and to help with the aesthetics. The tampon will be removed by the surgeon a few days after the procedure.  Apart from this, the following should be taken into account during the healing process of a septoplasty:

• It is normal to have mild pain after septoplasty surgery. Appropriate painkillers will be prescribed by the specialist.
  
  
• Blood thinners should not be used and herbal teas should not be drunk until the nasal scars are completely healed.
  
  
• Edema and swelling are normal after septoplasty surgery. Recovery can be accelerated with cold compresses and massage.
  
  
• In order not to damage the shape of the nose, care should be taken not to blow your nose for the first week after the operation.
  
  
• The head should be kept elevated while sleeping so that the swelling goes down and aesthetics are not affected.
