ENT · Bangalore
A procedure to straighten a deviated nasal septum — the wall between your nostrils — so air flows freely again, easing chronic congestion and disturbed sleep.
At a glance
Overview
A deviated septum can block one or both nostrils, causing persistent congestion, mouth-breathing, disturbed sleep and recurrent sinus trouble. Septoplasty reshapes and repositions the septum to open the airway.
It is usually a short, planned procedure, often combined with turbinate reduction, with most people back to light activity within a week.
Straightening the septum itself to clear the nasal airway.
Shrinking enlarged turbinates to further improve airflow.
Combined with reshaping the nose where function and appearance overlap.

Understanding the procedure
What the surgery addresses
Septoplasty straightens the wall of cartilage and bone between your nostrils (the septum) when it's bent (shown in terracotta) and blocking airflow. Working entirely through the nostrils with no external cuts, the surgeon repositions the septum to open the airway, easing breathing, congestion and disturbed sleep.
Entirely through the nostrils — no external incisions, no visible scarring, no change to the shape of your nose.
Persistent blocked nose, mouth-breathing, recurrent congestion and sleep disturbance from a deviated septum.
Usually general anaesthetic; the procedure typically takes 30–90 minutes as a day or overnight case.

Your recovery
Recovery is gradual but steady. Here's a realistic picture of the typical path — your own timeline depends on your health, age and procedure.
Some congestion and mild discomfort as the nose settles; managed with simple measures. Internal splints may be used briefly.
Breathing through the nose may feel blocked at first as swelling settles. A review confirms healing is on track.
Swelling subsides and airflow improves noticeably. Most are cleared to fly home in this window.
Breathing continues to open up; normal exercise and routines resume.
Common questions
Often soft internal splints or dissolvable packing are used briefly to support healing. Your surgeon explains exactly what to expect, and any removal is handled before you fly home.
