Septoplasty and turbinate reduction

Indications

When this may be discussed

• Persistent blocked nasal breathing despite appropriate medical therapy.
• Septal deviation contributing to one-sided or bilateral airflow limitation.
• Turbinate enlargement with ongoing congestion affecting sleep or exercise tolerance.
• Nasal obstruction associated with recurrent sinus or pressure symptoms in selected patients.
• Need for improved surgical access to other planned endonasal procedures.

What to expect

Before and on the day

Your surgeon reviews symptoms, examination findings, and any imaging before recommending surgery. The procedure is performed through the nostrils, without external cuts. The operative plan is tailored to your anatomy and clinical goals, and postoperative nasal care is discussed before the day of surgery.
