Septoplasty: Plastic surgery Royal✓

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct a deviated nasal septum - the structure that separates the left and right nasal cavities. Patients who are sloppy but able to move often have difficulty breathing, chronic nasal congestion, frequent sinus infections and difficulty sleeping. In such cases, septoplasty can be a key solution to improving daily functioning.

Although primarily a functional procedure, septoplasty can also have an aesthetic effect, especially when combined with rhinoplasty - correction of the shape of the nose. This combination allows patients to achieve better functionality than with a natural, symmetrical appearance of the nose.

When is septoplasty recommended?

This procedure is recommended in cases where a deviated septum causes serious problems, such as:

• Persistent but occasional difficulty breathing through the nose
• Frequent sinus infections due to difficulty draining fluid
• Snoring and difficulty breathing during sleep (e.g. apnea)
• Headaches and pain in the nose and sinus area
• Aesthetic abnormalities that additionally affect breathing

In situations where the deviation significantly interferes with the quality of life, septoplasty can bring visible relief and improve everyday life.

What does the procedure look like?

Septoplasty is most often performed under general anesthesia, but in some cases it can also be performed under local anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the agreement with the patient. The surgeon makes an incision inside the nose, thus avoiding external scars. Through this incision, the nasal septum is accessed and repaired - by removing but reshaping parts of the cartilage and bone that obstruct airflow.

If necessary, stitches and stents are placed to stabilize the septum. The procedure itself takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the individual case.

Recovery and Results

The recovery period lasts several weeks. In the first few days after surgery, swelling, mild pain, and bruising are possible - this is completely expected and temporary. During this period, tampons are often inserted into the nose to help stabilize and heal the tissue.

Most patients return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days, and full recovery takes 4 to 6 weeks. Functional and aesthetic changes become increasingly visible as the swelling gradually subsides.

Benefits of septoplasty

• Breathing better: By relaxing the nasal passages, breathing becomes more natural and easy.
• Fewer infections: Better ventilation of the sinuses reduces the risk of frequent infections
• Better sleep: By eliminating nasal congestion, snoring and apnea are reduced.
• Aesthetic effect: In combination with rhinoplasty, a more harmonious and natural appearance of the nose is achieved.

Cost of the procedure

The price of septoplasty depends on several factors – including the complexity of the case, the type of anesthesia, the surgeon’s experience and the level of postoperative care. In Serbia, prices range from 1,500 to 3,500 euros.

Our clinic offers septoplasty at a price of 2,300 €, which includes:

• Detailed preoperative diagnostics and consultations
• The surgical procedure itself
• Postoperative treatment and recovery monitoring

For patients who wish to combine functional correction with aesthetic rhinoplasty, the price is determined individually, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
