What Is Deviated Nasal Septum Treatment?

This specialized ENT care corrects a misaligned nasal septum or septal perforation, which obstructs airflow and sinus drainage. Caused by trauma, medications, or medical conditions, treatments include conservative measures like nasal sprays or surgical septoplasty for permanent correction. Administered by skilled specialists, these interventions restore nasal function, reduce infections, and improve breathing, tailored to your specific condition for optimal outcomes.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The process begins with a nasal examination, often using endoscopy or CT scans to assess septal deviation or perforation. For surgery, septoplasty or perforation repair is performed under local or general anesthesia, reshaping or closing the septum. Sessions typically last 30–90 minutes, tailored to correct structural issues and restore nasal function with precision and minimal discomfort.

What to Expect During Recovery

Post-treatment, mild swelling or nasal congestion may occur, resolving within 1–7 days. Follow aftercare, such as saline rinses or avoiding strenuous activity. Non-surgical treatments allow immediate activity resumption, while surgical procedures like septoplasty may require a week of rest. Breathing improves within days, with full benefits emerging over weeks. Follow-ups ensure lasting relief and optimal recovery.
