What is Septoplasty?
Separating your two nasal passages is a critical structure made of tissue and bone called the septum. Misalignment of this structure can lead to difficulties breathing, snoring, sleep apnea, and serious medical conditions later in life.
Prevent all these issues with a septoplasty in Jacksonville at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates! During a septoplasty, one of our skilled surgeons will surgically reshape your septum and improve your quality of life.

What to Expect From a Septoplasty
Select a step to view our process.
01
Consultation
You’ll begin your treatment at CSA with a private consultation with one of our expert surgeons. We will ask you about your cosmetic and medical concerns to understand exactly what you’d like to address. Based on this information, you and your surgeon will work together to create a custom surgical plan to fix your deviated septum.
02
Preparation
At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we ensure our patients feel comfortable and prepared throughout the entire process. Before beginning treatment, we will talk you through your specific surgical plan and discuss pre-care and post-care instructions. We will also help you decide between IV sedation and general anesthesia for your septoplasty.
03
Procedure
During your septoplasty in Jacksonville, the surgeon will make an incision on the inside of your nose. Next, they will lift and separate the septum tissue for full access to the misaligned bone and cartilage. After reshaping this area, they will close the incisions with small sutures and place a splint to keep the septum aligned as it heals.
04
Recovery
Before you leave to start recovering at home, your surgeon will talk you through your post-care instructions once more. We will also schedule your first follow-up appointment. You can expect bruising and swelling under your eyes and around your nose. Your results will fully develop over the course of the next 3 months.

Septoplasty FAQs
Common causes of a deviated septum include fetal development, birth trauma, or injury. However, most individuals with a deviated septum are born with it. Many people don’t experience severe symptoms, and surgery isn’t needed. For others, however, symptoms gradually worsen as they age and eventually require surgical correction.
Most ENT specialists will have the skills to perform a septoplasty, but they may not have the skills to preserve the look and shape of your nose. For the best results, you should find a cosmetic surgeon who can simultaneously perform a rhinoplasty and a septoplasty in Jacksonville.
