NASAL SURGERY
DEVIATED SEPTUM/BROKEN NOSE REPAIR
NASAL RECONSTRUCTION
What Does It Do?
Repair of a deviated nasal septum or blocked nasal passages, known as septoplasty or septorhinoplasty, is highly successful at relieving nasal obstruction. It is used to correct problems with the nose, such as breathing difficulties or damage incurred through injury. Nasal airway surgery is closely related to nasal reshaping surgery and often techniques are combined in a given case.
Are You a Candidate?
If you have blockage of one or both of your nasal passages, you may be a candidate for septoplasty or septorhinoplasty.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
Septoplasty and septorhinoplasty are performed on an outpatient basis under sedation with local or general anesthesia.
What Is Recovery Like?
Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Splints are commonly used inside the nose that are removed within the first week. Commonly breathing is better immediately after removing the internal splints. If rhinoplasty is combined with septoplasty, recovery follows that described under nose reshaping.
Insurance?
Septoplasty and nasal obstruction surgery is commonly covered by insurance companies. We are happy to help you obtain insurance pre-authorization.
