What is Septoplasty?

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that helps to straighten the septum.

Many people suffer from a deviated nasal septum either from injury or as a birth defect, and often it can cause breathing problems, impact the shape of your nose, and cause nasal blockages to form more easily. The nasal septum is situated within (inside) the nose, separating your nostrils and two sides of your nose; it is mostly made from cartilage and bone. A deviated septum occurs when this structure is displaced to one side, making one nasal passage smaller than the other.

Symptoms of a deviated septum may include difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, nasal congestion, recurrent nosebleeds, and frequent sinus infections.

Although a septoplasty is typically used to straighten the deviated septum, it might also be used to:

  • allow access to remove nasal polyps
  • allow access to treat chronic sinusitis
  • stop chronic nosebleeds
  • as part of a procedure to straighten both the inside and outside of the nose (a septorhinoplasty procedure)

How to pay for your treatment

If you’re… paying for yourself

Did you know you don’t need private medical insurance to come to St John & St Elizabeth Hospital? As a self-pay patient, you can access safe, outstanding quality health care at times to suit you.

For scans and tests, as well as to see most consultants, you’ll still need to be referred by a medical professional like your GP, but as a self-pay patient, the process is more straightforward. You won’t need authorisation from an insurance provider, and you’ll have greater choice of consultant and appointment times.

If you’re… insured

St John & St Elizabeth Hospital is approved by all major medical insurance companies. If you have a personal private health insurance policy, or your company provide it for you, you can use it to pay for your care from your initial consultation through to treatment, surgery and aftercare such as physiotherapy. Not all private health insurance plans cover the same things. It’s very important to check exactly what you are covered for with your insurance provider.
