Surgical correction of a deviated nasal septum to improve breathing

What type of anesthesia is used?

Septoplasty is typically performed under General anesthesia. Your anaesthetist will review your health history, medications, and allergies before the procedure to ensure safety.

What is the recovery time?

Most patients recover within 2-3 weeks, though this varies by individual health, age, and compliance with physiotherapy. Light activities can usually resume within a few weeks; full recovery takes longer.

What are the risks of Septoplasty?

As with any surgical procedure, risks include bleeding, infection, anaesthesia reactions, and rare complications such as injury to adjacent structures. Your surgeon will discuss your personal risk profile during the consent process.

What is the success rate of Septoplasty?

Septoplasty has a documented success rate of 90% when performed by qualified surgeons at accredited hospitals. Outcomes depend on the patient's overall health, disease severity, and adherence to post-operative care.
