You will not notice any scars after the procedure. The surgery incisions will be internally inside the nostrils. First few days, you will experience tenderness in the tip of the nose and swelling. The bandages will make it hard for you to breathe through the nose; you will have to breathe through the mouth.
Your doctor will prescribe pain relievers to manage the pain. You can return to sports after one month and follow your doctor's instructions. Expect to see final results and complete recovery three months after the surgery.
The surgeon makes an incision in the nasal passage on one side of the septum. Then the surgeon repairs the nasal passage, shapes the bone and cartilage, and performs other necessary treatments based on your condition.
The surgeon will insert bandages into the nostrils to prevent bleeding. If the incision is large, a support splint may be required to hold the cartilage.
As in every process, you will take an online consultation to make sure that you’re a suitable candidate for the septoplasty surgery. During this consultation, your complaints and story will be learned in detail and you will be asked if you have had any current health condition or any surgery that you have experienced before, as well as the photos showing the deviated septum of your nose, or internal nasal imaging if any.
Thus, we can better evaluate your case and prepare a customized treatment plan for you.
In light of all the information you provide, it will be decided whether you are eligible for this treatment and if you want to continue the process, the second phase will begin.
This is the stage where you choose one of the clinics and doctors we offer you according to your needs, and also where we arrange the date and trip plan that suits you upon your preferred clinic/doctor.
When you arrive at the clinic, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your septoplasty surgeon. Everything about your surgery will be discussed between you and your surgeon during this consultation.
The surgeon will ask you some questions to try to understand your expectations and goals better and also make you understand what you should expect from your treatment and the potential risks or complications of the procedure. You will also decide together on the individualized surgical and recovery plan that can be followed, especially during the first 24 to 48 hours after the surgery.
The surgeon will explain the whole process clearly and try to simulate it as much as possible, to feel comfortable and well-prepared.

If your surgeon uses the latest method (endoscopic septoplasty), the surgery is minimally invasive to correct the deviated septum. The endoscopic camera guides the surgeon in performing the surgery. After the surgery, you will experience minor swelling and slight pain.
No, your surgeon will correct your nasal septum and reposition it into the center. Your doctor might remove some parts of your nasal septum to correct its position. Once it is healed, you will breathe better.
The deviated septum surgery takes 30 - 90 minutes. The effects of correcting the deviated septum should be permanent unless the initial surgery wasn't performed correctly.
You may feel pain or soreness after the procedure is done. However, your surgeon may prescribe painkillers to relieve this pain and discomfort.
To avoid causing an external scar, the surgeon often makes an incision from natural folds (endonasal incision or bottom of the nose incision)
The main differences between the two operations are related to the purpose of the change in your nose. Rhinoplasty is performed to change the size, symmetry, and shape of your nose, the surgeon improves the appearance of the nose while reshaping it during rhinoplasty.
The purpose of septoplasty is however more limited, this procedure is performed to correct the septum inside the nose. It includes a more structured and functional approach. These two procedures are often combined because they can have two interconnected objectives.
