Septoplasty & Septorhinoplasty
About the procedure
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated nasal septum, improving airflow and relieving nasal obstruction. Septorhinoplasty combines septoplasty with rhinoplasty to also reshape or reconstruct the external nose for cosmetic or functional purposes. These procedures address breathing difficulties, chronic congestion, snoring, or nasal deformities due to trauma or congenital conditions. Performed under general or local anaesthesia, they restore nasal function, enhance appearance, and improve overall quality of life with careful post-operative care.
Care before the procedure
- Complete ENT evaluation and nasal imaging.
- Discuss medications, allergies, and bleeding history.
- Avoid blood-thinning drugs if advised.
- Follow fasting instructions for anaesthesia.
Care during the procedure
- Administered under general or local anaesthesia.
- Septum straightened and excess tissue removed or repositioned.
- The external nose is reshaped if rhinoplasty is performed.
- Nasal packing or splints may be placed.
Care after the procedure
- Keep nasal passages clean and avoid trauma.
- Use prescribed medications including antibiotics, nasal sprays, or analgesics.
- Avoid strenuous activity, nose blowing, or heavy lifting initially.
- Attend follow-up visits for splint removal, healing assessment, and monitoring.
