FAQs Septoplasty Before and After
What is a septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated nasal septum. The septum is the structure of cartilage and bone that divides the nasal passages. When it is deviated, it can make breathing difficult and cause chronic congestion, snoring, or recurrent infections. Septoplasty improves nasal functionality by straightening the septum, allowing for more efficient airflow.
Can I combine a septoplasty with a rhinoplasty?
Yes, it is common to combine both surgeries in a procedure called septorhinoplasty. This allows you to correct both functional and aesthetic problems at the same time. For example, if in addition to a deviated septum you want to improve the shape of your nose, this combination is an ideal option.
How do I know if I need a septoplasty?
If you experience symptoms such as persistent difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, chronic congestion, snoring, frequent infections, or facial pain, you may have a deviated septum. An evaluation by an otolaryngologist or a specialized surgeon is essential to confirm the diagnosis.
Does septoplasty help reduce snoring?
Yes, in many cases, correcting a deviated septum improves the quality of nighttime breathing and can significantly reduce snoring. This can also benefit those who suffer from mild sleep apnea.

If you're looking at this case for a specific reason.
Seeing case studies helps, but it doesn't replace an examination: the bone, cartilage, and thickness of your skin determine the limits of what can be achieved. We explain this in our rhinoplasty in Madrid section.
Do you want to know if this can be done in your case?
The first consultation is with Dr. Sordo, either at the Chamberí clinic or via video consultation. You'll leave knowing if you're a candidate, which technique is right for you, and how much it costs.
