Septoplasty (Correction of the Nasal Septum)

Breathe Freely Again. Restore Your Health and Sleep. Expert Septoplasty and Functional Nasal Surgery by Dr. Arthur Hakobyan

A Deviated Septum is Not Just About Discomfort.

Did you know that a deviated nasal septum affects more than just your nose? Chronic nasal obstruction leads to oxygen deprivation, headaches, chronic fatigue, and cardiovascular strain.

We view Septoplasty not merely as a mechanical correction, but as a way to significantly improve your quality of life. We don't just "clear the airway"; we restore the natural aerodynamics of the nose.

 

Indications for Surgery

Many patients live for years thinking their breathing difficulty is normal. You may be a candidate for Septoplasty if you experience:

  • Dependency on Nasal Drops: You cannot sleep or function without vasoconstrictor sprays (Xylometazoline, etc.).

  • Chronic Snoring or Sleep Apnea: Waking up tired, with a dry mouth.

  • Frequent Sinusitis: Recurrent inflammation of the sinuses.

  • Difficulty Breathing During Sports: You are forced to breathe through your mouth during physical activity.

A Quick Path to Full Breaths:

 

  1. Diagnosis: We perform a CT scan to see the exact curvature of the septum (bone and cartilage) and the condition of the sinuses.

  2. The Procedure: The surgery takes 40–60 minutes under general anesthesia. It is painless and safe.

  3. Smart Recovery: We use integral silicone splints instead of painful gauze packing. These splints hold the septum in place while allowing you to breathe immediately after waking up.

  4. Return to Life: You can return to work in 3–5 days. Full physical activity can be resumed in 3 weeks.

FAQ about septoplasty

Have questions about scheduling or what to expect? Here are answers to common inquiries to help you feel fully prepared.

No. A classic Septoplasty is purely functional. It corrects the inside of the nose. If you want to change the shape (remove a hump, lift the tip) at the same time, we can perform a Septorhinoplasty.

Pain is minimal and easily managed with mild painkillers. The main sensation is a feeling of a "stuff y nose," similar to a cold, which lasts for a few days until the internal swelling subsides.

No. Since we remove the blockage and straighten the bone and cartilage structure, the result is lifelong.

In many cases, yes. If the snoring is caused by nasal obstruction, Septoplasty is the cure. If the cause is in the throat or soft palate, we will recommend a comprehensive treatment plan.
