Your septum plays a significant role in your overall respiratory health, and when it’s misaligned, it can lead to a range of frustrating issues. If breathing through your nose is challenging, it can create physical discomfort, affect your ability to enjoy daily activities, and even impact your sleep quality. These issues can affect your quality of life, energy levels, and overall well-being.
Under the expert care of Dr. Nizar Hamadeh, septoplasty offers a life-altering solution that improves nasal bones and airflow.
So, what exactly is ‘septoplasty?’ Septoplasty, or ‘nasal septum correction,’ is a surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated septum when the wall between your nasal passages isn’t straight.
Unlike rhinoplasty surgery, which focuses on aesthetics, septoplasty primarily addresses functional issues, although it can also improve the shape of your nose in some cases. This septum surgery, when performed, not only improves airflow but also helps alleviate discomfort from trauma or injury, such as a broken septum.
Septoplasty is a surgical solution for a deviated septum, performed under general
anesthetic to straighten the septum and improve airflow. The procedure involves
reshaping or repositioning the cartilage grafts and bone, resulting in a more straightforward nasal passage and enhanced breathing.
Typically, septoplasty is a day-case procedure lasting about an hour, but can differ based on complexity of the case. Dr Hamadeh will make internal incisions to access and correct the septum, sometimes using grafts to support it.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, followed by dissolvable stitches
and a nasal splints to support the healing.
Achieving nasal comfort through septoplasty starts with a comprehensive consultation
and evaluation to assess the extent of the deviation and determine if surgery is the best
treatment option for you.
