If a blocked or crooked nose is affecting your breathing, sleep, or quality of life, septoplasty surgery may be the solution. At Symmetry Clinic in London, we offer expert septoplasty to correct a deviated septum and restore clear nasal airflow. Led by renowned Consultant Nasal and Facial Plastic Surgeon Mr Santdeep Paun, we provide safe, effective treatment using modern techniques and one-to-one, surgeon-led care.

You might benefit from septoplasty surgery if you experience:

• Difficulty breathing through your nose
• Chronic nasal congestion, especially on one side
• Frequent sinus infections
• Nosebleeds
• Facial pain or pressure
• Snoring or disturbed sleep
• A visible bend in the nose (in some cases)
   

Mr Santdeep Paun will carefully assess your symptoms, nasal structure, and medical history before recommending treatment. In many cases, patients have been living with a deviated septum for years without realising the cause of their discomfort.

You may be a good candidate for septoplasty if:

• You have a confirmed deviated nasal septum
• You experience chronic nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties
• You are in good general health
• You are over 18 and your facial growth is complete
• You do not respond to non-surgical treatments like sprays or antihistamines
• You want to combine septoplasty with cosmetic nose reshaping (rhinoplasty)

At Symmetry Clinic, we treat both NHS and private patients, including those referred by ENT specialists, GPs, or other surgeons. We also welcome patients travelling from outside London or abroad and offer bespoke concierge services. Our team regularly assists with hotel arrangements, local transport, and recovery planning.

The initial consultation with Mr Paun is £275 and includes a thorough examination and discussion of your symptoms and potential treatment plan.

The total cost of septoplasty surgery depends on whether it is combined with other procedures (such as rhinoplasty), the complexity of the case, and the hospital used. We provide full quotes after your consultation and offer payment plans through our admitting hospitals.

We’re committed to transparent, personalised care and will guide you through all your options.

Consultation

During your private consultation, Mr Santdeep Paun will examine your nose and nasal airway. This may include a nasal endoscopy and review of any previous imaging or sinus issues. You’ll discuss your symptoms, treatment goals, and whether septoplasty alone or combined with rhinoplasty is the best option for you.

Surgery

Septoplasty is performed under general anaesthetic, usually as a day-case procedure. An internal incision is made inside the nose, so no scars are visible. The septum is straightened by repositioning or removing the obstructing cartilage and bone. The procedure typically takes around 30–90 minutes.

Recovery

The septoplasty recovery timeline is quite quick and most patients return home the same day. You may feel congested for a few days, and light packing or internal splints may be used temporarily. There’s minimal downtime, and most people return to normal activities within one week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

Results

You’ll begin to notice improved breathing within a few weeks once swelling subsides. The results of septoplasty are long-lasting and can greatly enhance your comfort, sleep, and nasal function.
