Straighten a deviated septum to improve breathing, through a procedure done entirely inside the nose.


Nasal septum surgery, or septoplasty, straightens a deviated septum, the wall of bone and cartilage that divides the two sides of the nose. When the septum is bent, it can block one or both nasal passages and make breathing difficult, especially during sleep or exercise.
The procedure is functional rather than cosmetic. Working entirely through incisions inside the nose, the surgeon straightens or removes the deviated portion of the septum to open the airway, leaving no external change or scar.
It improves breathing but does not change the external shape of the nose, which would need rhinoplasty. The two can be combined. All surgery carries risks, and results vary.
It does not change the external shape of the nose and does not treat allergies or other causes of congestion. A cosmetic change needs rhinoplasty, which can be combined.
You will receive instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, and fasting. The airway and septum are assessed, sometimes with a nasal examination, to confirm the septum is the cause of the blockage.
Working through incisions inside the nose, the deviated cartilage and bone of the septum are straightened or partly removed to open the airway. There is no external incision.
Mild congestion, crusting, and a blocked feeling are normal for the first one to two weeks as the inside of the nose heals. Breathing improves as swelling settles over the following weeks.
Clearer, easier nasal breathing is achievable when a deviated septum is the cause. It does not change the appearance of the nose and does not treat congestion from allergies or other causes.
Septoplasty is generally safe, but all surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
Other causes of congestion, such as allergy, may need separate treatment. Smoking impairs healing of the nasal lining.
Nasal surgery at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose detailed knowledge of nasal anatomy supports safe, effective airway surgery.
Dr. Amoroso treats the airway with the same precision as cosmetic work, opening the nasal passage while preserving the structure and shape of the nose.
His background in reconstructive microsurgery brings a detailed command of facial anatomy, the nerves, the deeper support layers, and the way tissues age. That precision underpins both safety and natural, lasting results.
