Septoplasty: Plastic surgery Royal✓

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated nasal septum, which is the structure dividing the nasal cavity into left and right halves. A deviated septum occurs when this structure shifts or bends, leading to blockage of the nasal passages. This condition can result in difficulties with breathing, frequent sinus infections, chronic nasal congestion, and sleep disturbances, prompting many patients to consider surgery.

Not only does septoplasty enhance the functionality of the nose, but it can also improve its aesthetic appearance. While septoplasty is often performed for medical reasons, some patients opt to combine it with cosmetic rhinoplasty to enhance the overall look of their nose.

When is Septoplasty Recommended?

Septoplasty is recommended when a deviated septum causes significant breathing difficulties or other medical issues. Symptoms indicating the need for septoplasty include:

• Difficulty breathing through the nose, which may be permanent or intermittent.
• Frequent sinus infections due to poor drainage and blockage of the nasal passages.
• Snoring or breathing difficulties during sleep.
• Nasal or sinus pain and headaches that are unrelated to other health conditions.
• Irregular shapes of the nose that could affect both appearance and function.

In cases where the deviation significantly impacts daily life, septoplasty can greatly improve the patient's quality of life.

How is Septoplasty Performed?

Septoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, though it may also be conducted using local anesthesia, depending on the procedure's complexity and the patient's preferences. The surgeon makes a small incision inside the nasal cavity, avoiding external scars. From this incision, the surgeon accesses and straightens the nasal septum.

During the procedure, the surgeon may remove or reshape portions of the cartilage and bone of the septum that are causing the blockage. In some cases, small stitches or stents are placed inside the nose to stabilize the septum during recovery. The surgery usually lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on its complexity.

Postoperative Recovery

Recovery from septoplasty generally takes several days. Patients are advised to avoid physical activities for the first few days until the nose has fully healed. In the initial days post-surgery, some swelling, bruising, and mild pain are normal and temporary. Patients may need to use nasal packing to stabilize the nose during this time.

Over the following weeks, the nose will gradually regain its functionality, and the swelling and bruising will subside. Full recovery from septoplasty typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks, with most patients able to return to their daily activities within that timeframe.

Benefits of Septoplasty

Septoplasty offers numerous benefits, both functional and aesthetic. The main advantages include:

• Improved Breathing:Patients generally experience enhanced breathing, leading to better oxygenation and increased energy levels.
• Reduced Sinus Infections: Improved nasal drainage can lower the frequency of sinus infections and related issues.
• Better Sleep Quality: Alleviating breathing problems during sleep often results in reduced snoring and improved sleep quality.
• Aesthetic Improvements: When combined with rhinoplasty, septoplasty can enhance the nose's appearance, achieving a more natural and symmetrical look that complements the face.

Cost of Septoplasty

The cost of septoplasty can vary based on several factors, including the clinic's reputation, the surgeon's experience, the procedure's complexity, and the type of anesthesia used. In Serbia, prices typically range from €1,500 to €3,500. This range covers all expenses, from pre-operative consultations and diagnostics to the surgery and post-operative care.

For patients opting to combine septoplasty with cosmetic rhinoplasty, the cost may be slightly higher due to the additional surgical intervention and extended procedure time.

Our clinic offers septoplasty starting at €2,300, which includes all services from the initial consultation and surgery to post-operative support. While costs may vary based on individual requirements and case complexity, we maintain competitive pricing compared to other European countries.
