Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the curvature of the nasal septum. The nasal septum is a structure consisting of bone and cartilage that divides the nasal cavity into two parts. In a significant proportion of people, the septum is curved to one degree or another, which can cause difficulty breathing, snoring, chronic sinusitis and other related problems.

What is septoplasty for?

Septoplasty is an important procedure to improve breathing, especially when a curved nasal septum blocks the nostrils, impairing airflow. This can lead to sleep problems, headaches, nosebleeds and decreased sense of smell. Surgery significantly improves the quality of life by eliminating these symptoms.

Septoplasty can also be combined with rhinoplasty to achieve aesthetic goals. It is extremely important to carefully choose the clinic and specialists for such a procedure. ALISA HEALTH GROUP can help with this. Thanks to our Alisa AI, the search for a suitable medical facility becomes easier and more effective. Alice uses powerful algorithms and an extensive database to offer clinics that best meet your personal expectations and medical needs. This allows you not only to save time, money and effort, but also gives you confidence that your health will be in safe hands.

Stages of the operation:

1. Consultation and planning: At this stage, your goals and expected results are discussed, as well as the necessary medical examinations are prescribed.

2. Preparation: Diagnostic tests are performed and recommendations are made to stop taking certain medications.

3. Surgical intervention: Anesthesia can be either general or local with sedation, depending on your case. Incisions can be made either externally on the columella (with the open method) or completely inside the nose (with the closed method).

Rehabilitation after septoplasty is crucial: it is important to follow medical recommendations, avoid physical exertion and take care of the nasal cavity using special sprays. Although the procedure may carry risks such as infection, bleeding, or impaired sense of smell, regular checkups with a doctor will help prevent complications. In rare cases, breathing difficulties or perforation of the septum may occur, so attention to recovery is especially important in the initial period.
