Septoplasty

Septoplasty is the operation that straightens a deviated nasal septum, the wall of bone and cartilage that divides the nose into two channels, so that air can pass freely again and breathing becomes easy. It is a functional procedure that does not change how the nose looks from outside; instead it can help relieve a blocked nose, snoring, repeated sinus infections, postnasal drip and the headaches that a bent septum can cause. Many people travel abroad for septoplasty to reach experienced ear, nose and throat teams, avoid long waiting lists and recover quietly away from work and daily pressures. Because it is a closed, internal operation with a short recovery, it also fits comfortably into a focused medical trip.
