What is Septoplasty?

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct a deviated septum. Some could be born with deviated septum while some may have developed it through trauma or accidents.

Hence, septoplasty is a surgical procedure which can be categorized as cosmetic as well as medical procedures. For medical reason, septoplasty straightens the septum and widens your nostrils, thus allowing better airflow through the nose. At our affiliated hospital, this can be done on outpatient basis and you could choose to rest and recover back at your hotel too.

How It Works

Typically, septoplasty will be done by making an incision on one side of your nose to get direct access toward the septum. The deviated septum will then be corrected to move into the right position. If there shall be any barriers such as extra pieces of bone or cartilage, they will be removed. The mucous membrane will then be repositioned as a final step in the procedure.

2. An incision will be made to create a path towards your septum
3. Deviated septum will be moved into the right position

FAQ

Q1: Is this considered a major surgery?
A1: No, but it is usually recommended after you have ruled out other treatments for nasal blockages.

Q2: Will it hurt?
A2: Treatment will normally be done under anesthesia.

Q3: Will this change my nose shape?
A3: It may. However, main objective of septoplasty is to only correct deviated septum.

Q4: Is it true that this may change my voice?
A4: There were histories that some experience voice changes or that they may sound less hyponasal. However, that is not necessarily the case as septoplasty and vocal resonance have no relationship.

Q5: What if I feel like sneezing if I can't blow my nose?
A5: Of course, do not try to hold your sneeze. However, try to sneeze with your mouth open to minimize blowing of nose
