Struggling to breathe through your nose? A deviated septum may be the cause. Septoplasty in Turkey offers expert correction by experienced ENT specialists.
Septoplasty in Turkey: Fixing a Deviated Septum — Cost, Procedure & Recovery
A deviated septum occurs when the wall dividing the two nasal passages (the nasal septum) is displaced to one side. While mild deviations are common and symptom-free, severe cases cause chronic nasal obstruction, snoring and poor sleep quality.
Septoplasty is the surgical solution: a functional procedure that straightens the deviated septum to restore proper airflow — without changing the external appearance of the nose.
Symptoms of a Deviated Septum
Who Is a Candidate for Septoplasty?
The Procedure
Septoplasty takes 45–90 minutes under general anaesthesia. Op. Dr. Emine Şakalar performed septoplasty procedures during her 10 years as an ENT specialist at a state hospital in Eskişehir, building extensive surgical experience.
Steps:
1. An incision is made inside the nose — no external scarring
2. Deviated cartilage and bone are corrected or removed
3. The mucosa is repositioned and closed
4. Nasal packing is placed for support
Recovery
| Period | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Days 1–3 | Nasal packing in place; breathe through mouth |
| Day 5–7 | Packing removed; breathing improves noticeably |
| Weeks 2–4 | Return to light activities |
| Weeks 4–6 | Full recovery |
Septoplasty vs. Rhinoplasty: What's the Difference?
This combination is increasingly popular among international patients who want to improve both breathing and appearance in a single procedure.
Why Choose Turkey for Septoplasty?
Septoplasty in Western Europe is significantly more expensive than in Turkey. In Eskişehir, the same procedure is performed at a much more accessible price.
