Deviated Septum Surgery

A deviated nasal septum is a common problem that can significantly affect the quality of breathing and daily life.

Deviated septum surgery, known as septoplasty, removes or straightens the crooked part of the nasal septum.

At Medical Time hospital, we use modern surgical methods that enable faster recovery and optimal results.

The procedure is most often recommended for people who have chronic nasal congestion, headaches, or sleep problems.

The goal of the surgery is to establish a normal flow of air through the nasal cavities.

We combine functional procedures with aesthetic correction if the patient also wants to change the appearance of their nose.

Our team provides comprehensive diagnostics and an individual approach to each patient.

What are the symptoms of a deviated septum?

The most common symptoms include difficulty breathing through one side of the nose, frequent sinus infections, and snoring.

Some patients feel pressure in the facial area, headaches, and a reduced capacity for physical activity.

Nasal congestion can negatively affect sleep quality and cause daily fatigue.

Breathing problems can be constant or worsen during allergy seasons.

The deviation is confirmed by a clinical examination and analysis using rhinoscopy or endoscopy.

In some cases, additional diagnostics such as a sinus CT scan are recommended.

An accurate diagnosis is key to successful surgery planning.

What does the septoplasty procedure look like?

Septoplasty is most often performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 30 and 90 minutes.

During the surgery, the surgeon accesses the inside of the nose without external incisions.

The crooked parts of the cartilage and bone that obstruct breathing are straightened.

If necessary, sutures or silicone splints may be used to stabilize the septum.

If the patient desires, aesthetic correction of the nose (rhinoseptoplasty) can be performed at the same time.

The procedure is performed in accordance with the patient's anatomy and needs.

The surgery is carried out in sterile and safe conditions with modern equipment.

Recovery after surgery

The patient usually stays in the hospital for one day after the operation.

Tampons are removed 2 to 3 days after the procedure, and breathing gradually normalizes.

Swelling and minor discomfort are expected and pass within the first week.

Most patients return to daily activities after 5 to 7 days.

It is necessary to avoid physical exertion and dusty areas during recovery.

Doctor check-ups are scheduled for the first, third, and sixth weeks after the surgery.

Our team follows the patient at every stage of recovery and provides detailed instructions.
