Septoplasty in Istanbul
When the wall inside your nose is crooked, every breath is hard work. Septoplasty straightens it — from the inside, with nothing visible outside.
Is septoplasty right for you?
The septum is the thin wall of cartilage and bone between your nostrils. When it is bent — from birth or after a knock — one or both sides of the nose stay blocked, no matter which sprays you try.
- A nose blocked on one side, or sides that take turns
- Breathing through your mouth, especially at night
- Snoring or restless sleep linked to a blocked nose
- Sinus infections that keep returning behind the blockage
Septoplasty works entirely inside the nose: it straightens the septum so air can move freely again. On its own, it does not change how your nose looks from the outside.
What to expect at your visit
Dr. Teker examines your nose with a thin camera (endoscope), so you both see exactly where the blockage sits — the septum alone, or other causes alongside it. You then hear plainly what surgery would and would not solve, and you receive a personal plan and quotation.
If the outer shape of your nose bothers you too, he will discuss combining septoplasty with rhinoplasty in a single operation.

Septoplasty — your questions
Will septoplasty change the shape of my nose?
No — septoplasty works inside the nose, and the outside stays as it is. If you would like the shape addressed as well, that is a combined septorhinoplasty, which Dr. Teker will discuss with you openly.
How do I know my blockage really comes from the septum?
You will see it yourself: the endoscopic examination shows the septum directly, and Dr. Teker checks the other common causes of a blocked nose at the same visit before recommending anything.
I snore. Will septoplasty help?
Snoring has many causes, and a deviated septum can be one of them. After examining you, Dr. Teker will tell you honestly whether your snoring is likely to be connected — he will not promise what cannot be promised.
