Difficulty breathing through the nose, chronic nasal congestion, frequent sinus infections, and snoring are often caused by a deviated nasal septum. Septoplasty Surgery is a functional nasal procedure designed to straighten the nasal septum and restore proper airflow.
At Skin Esthetics Clinic Islamabad, septoplasty is performed by experienced ENT and cosmetic surgeons using advanced surgical techniques to improve breathing while preserving the natural shape of the nose.
What Is Septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects a deviated or crooked nasal septum—the wall of cartilage and bone separating the two nostrils.
When the septum is significantly off-center, it can block airflow and cause breathing difficulties. Septoplasty repositions and straightens the septum to improve nasal function.
