🔷 WHAT IS SEPTOPLASTY?

Septoplasty is a functional nasal surgery that corrects a deviated septum—the cartilage and bone dividing the nasal passages—to improve airflow and breathing.

Unlike cosmetic rhinoplasty, septoplasty focuses on medical function, though it is often combined with rhinoplasty for both functional and aesthetic improvement.
