Septoplasty

What are the risks of having a Septoplasty?

Generally speaking, Septoplasties are routine cases with rare complications. The more common risk of the procedure is bleeding which may require nasal packing. Another potential complication is septal perforations or holes. For the majority of cases, these perforations are rarely noticed and require no further intervention. The risk of general anesthesia as well as other rare complications will be discussed with you in the office.
