How long does recovery take after a septoplasty?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Days/Weeks: Septoplasty, surgery for a deviated septum, can help improve nasal breathing, congestion, or snoring for appropriate patients. The initial healing is relatively quick, with patients commonly back to work within a few days. Patients are still healing after this period, but have more or less returned to daily function.
