Well-done septoplasty surgeries have a very high success rate and can greatly improve the function and flow of the nasal airway. This improves a patient’s quality of life with better breathing and oxygen intake, deeper uninterrupted sleep, and a resolution of recurrent nosebleeds if these conditions were previously a problem.
If these measurements aren't reached, or your symptoms do come back, you may need another operation on the septum. Once a person has had septoplasty surgery, they may experience some minor discomfort when the nose is exposed to cold. This is usually only for short periods of time and can be treated with painkillers.
