Septoplasty is performed to correct a deviated nasal septum — the wall between the nostrils — caused by a birth defect, nasal trauma, or gradual shifting over time, which blocks normal airflow through one or both nostrils.

Signs You May Need Septoplasty

Symptoms include chronic nasal congestion often worse on one side, difficulty breathing through the nose, frequent nosebleeds, recurrent sinus infections, and snoring or noisy breathing during sleep.

Types of Septoplasty

The main technique is traditional septoplasty performed through incisions inside the nose with no external scarring; endoscopic septoplasty uses a camera for more precise visualization of deviated cartilage and bone, and it's frequently combined with turbinate reduction when swollen turbinates also contribute to the blockage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will septoplasty change the outside shape of my nose?

No, standard septoplasty only corrects the internal septum and doesn't change external appearance; that requires combining it with rhinoplasty if desired.

How soon will I breathe better?

Some congestion is expected for 1-2 weeks due to swelling, with clear improvement in breathing typically seen by 3-4 weeks.

Is the surgery painful?

Most patients report mild discomfort rather than severe pain, managed with medication, and nasal packing, if used, is usually removed within a day or two.

Can a deviated septum come back after surgery?

True recurrence is uncommon, though residual mild deviation can occasionally persist in complex cases.

Is septoplasty covered by insurance?

Since it treats a functional breathing problem, it is often covered, unlike cosmetic nasal surgery — check with your insurer and ENT surgeon.

Planning Septoplasty: cost, insurance and recovery

Second opinion: for planned surgery it is reasonable to see a second surgeon before deciding, especially if alternatives exist.
Written estimate: ask for an itemised estimate for Septoplasty — surgeon and anaesthesia fees, room category, implants or consumables, and expected days in hospital. Costs vary widely between hospitals and cities.
Insurance and Ayushman Bharat: check that the hospital is in your insurer's network or empanelled under PM-JAY, and get pre-authorisation for a cashless admission.
Before surgery: pre-operative blood tests, ECG or imaging are usually needed; many can be booked with home sample collection.
Recovery: ask about the expected recovery time, physiotherapy, wound care and when to return for review.
