Septoplasty: Will It Cure Snoring or Sleep Issues?Septoplasty

Snoring caused mainly by a deviated septum often improves significantly after septoplasty because the airway becomes clearer and airflow is smoother. Many patients notice that their snoring reduces or even disappears after the surgery. However, snoring and sleep apnea can also be linked to other factors such as obesity, enlarged tonsils, or relaxation of throat muscles during sleep. In such cases, septoplasty alone may not completely cure the problem but it will still make breathing easier and reduce nasal obstruction. Sometimes, combining surgery with weight management, lifestyle changes, or further treatments may be required for complete relief. It is best to undergo a proper sleep study if sleep apnea is suspected so that your doctor can give you a clearer idea of what improvements to expect.
