Septoplasty in Dubai is a surgical procedure performed to correct a deviated nasal septum—the wall of cartilage and bone that separates the two nostrils. When the septum is misaligned, it can cause breathing difficulties, nasal blockage, frequent sinus infections, snoring, and sleep disturbances.
If you experience chronic nasal congestion or difficulty breathing through your nose that does not improve with medication, septoplasty may be the ideal solution. The procedure improves airflow through the nasal passages, enhances breathing, and significantly improves quality of life.
Septoplasty is performed by experienced ENT and facial surgeons with a strong background in functional and aesthetic nasal surgery. Each procedure is carefully planned to restore proper nasal function while preserving the natural structure of the nose.
Invasive surgery involves making incisions to access internal structures for treatment.
Recovery time typically takes about two weeks.
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia.
The process takes approximately 4 to 5
hours
Septoplasty involves straightening and repositioning the nasal septum to open blocked nasal passages. During the procedure, the surgeon lifts the nasal lining, trims or reshapes the deviated cartilage and bone, and repositions the septum to the center of the nose.
It is a surgical procedure usually performed in a hospital or accredited surgical facility. Since all incisions are made inside the nose, there are no visible external scars. Nasal splints or packing may be placed temporarily to support healing and maintain proper alignment.
Septoplasty is suitable for individuals who experience functional nasal problems due to a deviated septum. Ideal candidates include those who:
Recovery time varies by individual but typically ranges from 7 to 14 days. Breathing improvement becomes noticeable as swelling subsides.
Septoplasty offers multiple functional and lifestyle advantages:
Dr. Sanjay carefully examines your nasal structure, reviews imaging, and discusses your functional and aesthetic goals to design a personalized surgical plan.
The procedure involves repositioning or removing portions of the septum to straighten it while preserving structural support.
An internal incision is made inside the nose, avoiding visible scars. Deviated cartilage and bone are corrected, and supportive structures are reinforced.
The incisions are sutured internally, and nasal splints may be used to stabilize the septum during healing.
Proper preparation ensures a safe procedure:
During septoplasty surgery, the following steps are performed:
Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered for comfort.
Incisions: Small incisions are made inside the nostrils or across the columella.
Correction: Dr. Sanjay carefully repositions or removes the deviated nasal septum.
Contouring: The nasal passages are reshaped to improve airflow and functionality.
Closure: Incisions are closed with fine sutures to ensure a smooth recovery with minimal scarring.
Post-operative care promotes optimal healing:
Swelling, congestion, and mild discomfort are common. Most patients can return to light daily activities.
Swelling and nasal congestion decrease gradually, and breathing improves.
Full functional improvement is typically visible within 6–8 weeks, with long-term benefits maintained for years.
