A deviated nasal septum occurs when the thin wall of bone and cartilage dividing the two nasal passages shifts significantly to one side. This misalignment can narrow one or both nasal passages, making it harder to breathe through the nose. While mild deviation is common and may not require treatment, a significantly deviated septum can lead to chronic nasal congestion, recurring sinus infections, nosebleeds, facial pain, and disrupted sleep.
Septoplasty is the surgical procedure used to correct this condition. The surgeon repositions and, where necessary, removes portions of the deviated septum to restore proper airflow. The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia and takes between 30 to 90 minutes. Because it is carried out entirely through the nostrils, there are no external incisions or visible scars.
At Pristyn Care, our ENT specialists in Hyderabad evaluate each patient thoroughly before recommending surgery. Treatment is personalised based on the severity of the deviation, associated symptoms, and overall nasal anatomy. Most patients resume light daily activities within a week following the procedure.
Diagnosing a deviated nasal septum begins with a thorough physical examination by an ENT specialist. The doctor uses a bright light and a nasal speculum to examine the inside of the nose and assess the position of the septum.
In some cases, a nasal endoscopy may be performed to get a detailed view of the nasal passages and identify any associated conditions such as nasal polyps or turbinate hypertrophy. CT scans may be recommended when sinus involvement is suspected. Based on the severity of the deviation and the patient’s symptoms, the specialist will recommend the most appropriate course of treatment – either medical management or surgical correction through septoplasty.
Initial treatment for a deviated septum is aimed at managing the symptoms and making the patient’s life easier in the short term. This includes decongestants, antihistamines, and nasal steroid sprays, to keep the airways open and make breathing easier.
Medicines can only treat symptoms, they cannot correct a deviated septum. Once the symptoms are managed, surgery is necessary to eliminate the chances of recurrence of nasal infections.
During a septoplasty, the nasal septum is straightened and repositioned at the center of the nose. The surgeon cuts and removes parts of the nasal septum before re-inserting them in their proper position.

Still havenât found the solution?Since septoplasty is performed through the nostrils, there are no facial scars or black eyes after the surgery. There is some pain and tenderness, along with blood and/or mucous drainage in the nose leading to the feeling of nasal stuffiness.
The swelling from the surgery usually dissipates within 2-3 days, while the drainage may last for 2-5 days. Usually, patients are prescribed over-the-counter medications, along with saline sprays or irrigation treatments for pain and nasal congestion.
However, if the nose is packed with tissues, it can cause a little trouble in breathing till the material is removed. So, the patient may have to breathe through their nose during this time which can lead to a dry mouth.

A severely deviated nasal septum can cause severe breathing problems. It also interferes with sinus drainage and causes recurrent sinus infections. Other health problems a deviated nasal septum can cause are:
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the outer shape of the nose to provide a better aesthetic appearance. On the other hand, a septoplasty is performed to correct the internal structural issues inside the nose and correct breathing problems.
A septoplasty helps extend the airway in the nose and makes breathing easier, which can relieve snoring. However, it is not a sure-fire way of curing snoring as snoring can be caused due to problems with different tissues such as the muscles in the throat, tongue, sidewalls and roof of the mouth, etc.
Septoplasty is an internal surgery and does not change the shape of the nose on its own. However, if you want better aesthetically pleasing results, you can combine it with a rhinoplasty. The procedure is called septorhinoplasty.
Septoplasty straightens the nasal septum and makes breathing easier. In some cases, it can improve the voice due to better airflow, however, in most cases, the patientâs voice remains unchanged.
If the cause of sleep apnea is nasal obstruction, then septoplasty can cure it for good. If the cause of sleep apnea is something else, septoplasty can make their treatments more effective by improving breathing and airflow through the nose.
Septoplasty can be performed as an outpatient procedure. At most, the patient can be released from the hospital within 24 hours of the surgery. The initial swelling after the surgery dissipates within 2-3 days, however, full recovery takes up to 3 months.
You can resume work, along with most of your daily activities 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery. However, if your work is physically taxing, then you should wait at least a month before resuming work.
Turbinate reduction surgery involves the straightening or repairing of nasal turbinates to improve airflow through the nose. It is often combined with septoplasty to provide the patient with better overall airflow.

I truly appreciated their thoroughness and the personalized approach to my care. It's clear that Dr. and their team are deeply committed to their patients' well-being.
