What is Deviated Septum Surgery?
Your nasal septum is the thin wall of cartilage and bone that divides your nose into two separate nostrils. Ideally, this septum runs straight down the center, allowing for equal airflow through both sides. However, for many individuals, the septum is significantly displaced or ‘deviated’ to one side, making one nasal passage considerably smaller than the other. This common structural irregularity can lead to a host of uncomfortable symptoms, including chronic nasal obstruction, frequent nosebleeds, recurrent sinus infections, facial pain, and disturbed sleep patterns due to impaired breathing.
A deviated septum can be present from birth, develop as the nose grows, or result from an injury or trauma to the nose. Regardless of its origin, a severely deviated septum often necessitates surgical correction to alleviate symptoms and restore proper nasal function.
What Causes a Deviated Septum?
A deviated septum occurs when the thin wall (septum) that separates your nasal passages is displaced or shifted to one side. While some individuals are born with a deviated septum, others may develop it later in life due to:
- Trauma or Injury: Impact to the nose, such as from a sports injury, accident, or physical altercation, can cause the septum to become deviated.
- Congenital Factors: Some people are born with a deviated septum due to genetics or abnormal fetal development.
- Aging: As we age, the nasal septum can naturally weaken or change shape, leading to deviation.
- Chronic Nasal Congestion: Conditions like chronic sinusitis or allergies can cause inflammation and swelling of the nasal passages, contributing to septum deviation over time.
How to Tell if You Have a Deviated Septum?
While some individuals may experience noticeable symptoms indicating a deviated septum, others may have a deviated septum without realizing it. Here are some signs that may indicate you have a deviated septum:
- Visible Deformity: Obvious asymmetry or crookedness of the nose when viewed from the front.
- Chronic Nasal Congestion: Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, particularly when lying down.
- Frequent Nosebleeds: Recurrent episodes of nosebleeds, especially without a clear cause or trigger.
- Snoring or Sleep Disturbances: Loud snoring or interrupted breathing during sleep, known as sleep apnea.
- Facial Pain or Pressure: Persistent discomfort or pressure in the facial area, especially around the nose or sinuses.
- History of Nasal Trauma: Previous injury to the nose, such as a broken nose or sports-related injury.
If you suspect you have a deviated septum or are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
What are the Symptoms of a Deviated Nasal Septum?
A deviated nasal septum can cause a variety of symptoms, which may vary in severity depending on the extent of deviation. Common symptoms include:
- Nasal Congestion: Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils due to obstruction.
- Nosebleeds: Increased susceptibility to nosebleeds, especially if the septum is dry or irritated.
- Facial Pain: Discomfort or pain in the face, particularly around the nose or sinus area.
- Recurrent Sinus Infections: Frequent sinus infections or sinusitis due to impaired drainage and airflow.
- Snoring: Increased snoring or breathing difficulties during sleep.
- Headaches: Persistent headaches, particularly in the forehead or bridge of the nose.
- Postnasal Drip: Excess mucus production and drainage down the throat, leading to throat irritation or coughing.
How is the Septoplasty in Turkey Performed?
Deviated septum surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia to ensure that the patient does not experience pain or discomfort during the surgery. In the initial steps of the deviated septum surgery, incisions are made either inside or outside the nose. The primary goal of the surgery, which is to correct the septum, is achieved. If the surgery includes aesthetic improvements, the external structure of the nose may also be addressed at this stage. The nose’s shape is corrected, and bone or cartilage tissues may be trimmed or shaped as needed. This results in a more aesthetic and balanced appearance for the nose. When the procedures are completed, the incisions are closed with dissolvable aesthetic stitches or adhesives.

The Septoplasty Procedure: What to Expect with MD. Hasan Duygulu’s
A precise surgical intervention to straighten the nasal septum and improve airflow.
Experience personalized care by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Hasan Duygulu, a board-certified ENT surgeon in Turkey. Share your concerns and goals with him, and he will evaluate your septum to recommend the best procedure tailored to your needs.
Before surgery, undergo thorough preoperative tests, including blood tests and x-rays, to ensure your suitability for the procedure. Dr. Hasan Duygulu and his team will meticulously assess your medical history and current health status to guarantee a safe and successful surgery.
Under the expert hands of Dr. Hasan Duygulu, deviated septum surgery is performed. Septoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the entire surgery.
Dr. Duygulu makes a small, discreet incision inside the nostril, meaning there are no visible external scars after the procedure is completed.
Through this incision, the surgeon carefully lifts the mucous membrane lining the septum. The deviated portions of cartilage and bone are then precisely reshaped, removed, or repositioned to create a straight septum and open the nasal passages.
Once the septum is corrected, the mucous membrane is carefully put back into place. Internal stitches, which are self-dissolving, are often used to hold the septum in its new, straight position. Soft splints or packing may be gently placed in the nostrils to provide support and absorb any drainage, usually removed within a day or two.
Following surgery, you may experience swelling, congestion, and discomfort for a few days. Rest assured, Dr. Hasan Duygulu will provide comprehensive postoperative care instructions to ensure your optimal recovery. His dedicated team will be available 24/7 to address any concerns and support you throughout the healing process.

FAQ About Septoplasty Surgery in Turkey
How many days does it take to recover from deviated septum surgery?
You may be recovering 1-3 weeks after deviated septum surgery. However, this period may vary from person to person depending on the scope of the surgery.
How soon can I return to work after deviated septum surgery?
You can return to work 1 week after deviated septum surgery. However, you should consult your doctor before starting work.
Will there be any scars after deviated septum surgery?
There is no scar left after deviated septum surgery. The surgery is usually performed through incisions made inside the nostrils. For this reason, there may usually be no scar left.
Is septoplasty painful?
During the procedure, you will be under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. Post-surgery, most patients report discomfort and pressure rather than severe pain, which is effectively managed with prescribed pain medication. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few days.
How long is the recovery period for septoplasty?
Initial recovery, where swelling and bruising are most noticeable, typically lasts about 1-2 weeks, during which most patients can return to light work. However, internal healing can take several months, with full results becoming apparent over 6 to 12 months. Dr. Duygulu will provide detailed post-operative instructions.
Will septoplasty change the shape of my nose?
Septoplasty primarily focuses on correcting the internal structure of the nose to improve breathing and does not typically alter the external appearance. If you also wish to address cosmetic concerns, septorhinoplasty (a combined procedure) might be an option. This can be discussed during your consultation.
Are there any risks associated with septoplasty?
As with any surgery, septoplasty carries some potential risks, including bleeding, infection, numbness, or a return of the deviated septum. However, complications are rare, and Dr. Duygulu takes every precaution to minimize these risks, ensuring patient safety is paramount.
Can septoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, septoplasty is often combined with other nasal procedures like rhinoplasty (to change the external shape of the nose) or turbinate reduction (to address enlarged turbinates that also obstruct breathing). Combining procedures can address both functional and aesthetic concerns in a single surgery. We can discuss suitable combinations during your consultation.
In which situations is Septoplasty considered a medical necessity?
Septoplasty is considered medically necessary when a deviated nasal septum causes significant functional problems rather than purely cosmetic concerns. Common indications include chronic nasal obstruction, difficulty breathing through the nose, recurrent sinus infections, frequent nosebleeds, sleep disturbances such as snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, and persistent headaches related to septal deviation. In some cases, septoplasty may also be recommended after nasal trauma or injury that affects normal airflow and nasal function.
How long does Septoplasty take, and what type of anesthesia is used?
Septoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, although in selected cases local anesthesia with sedation may also be used. The procedure usually takes between 30 minutes and 90 minutes depending on the severity of the septal deviation and whether additional procedures are performed at the same time. Most patients are discharged on the same day after a short recovery and observation period.
After Septoplasty, in which cases should you contact your doctor immediately?
After septoplasty, you should contact your doctor immediately if you experience excessive bleeding that does not stop, high fever, severe or worsening pain, difficulty breathing, sudden swelling around the eyes, vision changes, persistent nausea or vomiting, or signs of infection such as foul-smelling discharge. These symptoms may indicate complications that require prompt medical evaluation and treatment.
Does the voice change after septoplasty?
Septoplasty does not usually cause a permanent change in the voice. However, some patients may temporarily notice slight differences in nasal resonance or the way their voice sounds during the healing process due to reduced nasal blockage and postoperative swelling. Once the tissues heal and airflow stabilizes, the voice generally returns to normal. In many cases, improved nasal airflow may even help speech sound clearer and less congested.
