Septoplasty is a surgical operation primarily aimed at restoring full nasal breathing by correcting deformities of the nasal septum. The nasal septum is a bone and cartilage plate that divides the nasal cavity into two halves. Its deviation (congenital or acquired due to trauma) can cause a range of problems: from persistent nasal congestion and difficulty breathing to chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, snoring, and even impaired sense of smell. It is important to understand that septoplasty is a functional surgery aimed at improving health and quality of life. Unlike rhinoplasty, it generally does not change the external shape of the nose, unless the septal deviation was the cause of external deformity (in such cases, rhinoseptoplasty may be performed).

The surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. After the surgery, moderate discomfort in the nose, a feeling of pressure or stuffiness, is possible, especially while tampons/splints are in place. These sensations are well controlled by pain medications. Severe pain is usually not experienced.
