Septoplasty
Goals: Improve breathing, reduce snoring, improve CPAP tolerance, reduce headaches/facial pressure and sinus infections.
Risks: Bleeding, infection, scarring, poor healing, septal perforation, persistent or recurrent symptoms, and rare complications like loss of smell, CSF leak, or need for revision surgery.
Typical Length: 30 min
Postoperative Care:
Soft plastic splints in each nostril for one week; removed at the first follow-up appointment.
Use pain medicine, antibiotics, and nasal saline spray as prescribed.
Typical recovery includes most patients switching to plain Tylenol for pain control after about 3-4 days and feeling at 100% by 2-3 weeks.
Unlike rhinoplasty, there’s rarely external swelling and never any external bruising, as all of the work is done inside the nose, through a single incision inside the nostril.
