INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

What is septoplasty and turbinoplasty?

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure in which the deviated nasal septum (septum) is adjusted to a central position to improve nasal patency. Turbinoplasty is an operation in which the thickened nasal mucosa (nasal sclera) is reduced, which also helps to improve nasal breathing. Both procedures are often performed simultaneously under general anesthesia and take approximately 60-90 minutes.
