Septoplasty is a surgery performed to fix a crooked septum. A crooked septum is common, but in a few cases, severe deviation may block one side of the nose leading to reduced breathing capabilities of one or both sides of the nostrils. Usually, this procedure is opted for only when the breathing disability is causing significant interruptions in the patient’s quality of life. Before the procedure, you may have to provide your medical history and participate in a few physical tests. After a septoplasty, there may be a few noticeable changes in the structure of your face. Hence, discussing your expectations with your doctor before the surgery is vital. Doctors may order you to quit smoking before the surgery if you are an avid smoker. After the surgery, doctors will advise you to sleep with your head elevated. You won’t be allowed to blow your nose or partake in physical activities like jogging, exercising etc., for at least five weeks.
