What is Septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated nasal septum, which is the cartilage and bone dividing the two nostrils. A deviated septum can cause breathing difficulties, frequent sinus infections, snoring, and nasal congestion.
Who is Septoplasty Suitable For?
Septoplasty is ideal for individuals who experience chronic nasal obstruction or difficulty breathing, suffer from frequent sinus infections due to poor airflow, or have one nostril significantly smaller than the other, leading to breathing issues. It is also recommended for those who struggle with snoring or sleep apnea caused by nasal blockage or have suffered nasal trauma or injury that resulted in a deviated septum.
Techniques Used in Septoplasty in Turkey
1. Traditional Septoplasty
- The surgeon makes incisions inside the nose (no external scars).
- Deviated cartilage and bone are removed or repositioned to create a straighter nasal passage.
- The nasal lining is carefully preserved to avoid affecting nasal function.
2. Endoscopic Septoplasty
- A minimally invasive approach using an endoscope (tiny camera) for better visualization.
- Allows for greater precision and minimal tissue damage.
- Recommended for mild to moderate septal deviations.
3. Laser-Assisted Septoplasty
- Uses laser technology to reshape and straighten the septum.
- Less bleeding and faster healing compared to traditional methods.
- Suitable for minor septal deviations.

Procedure Details
Preparation Before Surgery
Before undergoing septoplasty in Turkey, patients will:
- Have a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Murat Benzer
- Undergo nasal endoscopy or CT scans to assess the severity of the deviation
- Receive pre-operative instructions regarding medications, smoking, and alcohol consumption
Anesthesia Options
- Local anesthesia with sedation (for minor corrections)
- General anesthesia (for more complex cases)
Duration of Surgery
- The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Most patients go home the same day (outpatient procedure).
Recovery Process
- Most patients can return home the same day after surgery.
- Swelling and mild discomfort subside within 1-2 weeks.
- Full healing typically occurs within 1-2 months.
- Patients should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.
Post-Operative Care Tips
Keep your head elevated while sleeping to reduce swelling.
Avoid blowing your nose for at least one week.
Use saline sprays to keep the nasal passages moist.
Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they can slow healing.
Unlike rhinoplasty, septoplasty does not change the external appearance of the nose unless combined with cosmetic surgery.
