As a first step toward better breathing and improved quality of life with septoplasty in Philadelphia, you will meet with Dr. Jones for an individualized consultation. Your first visit will include a thorough medical evaluation and physical exam, along with an exploration of your specific goals for improvement. Dr. Jones will answer all your questions with authority and care and will review the procedure’s risks, recovery time, costs, and expected results, ensuring you have realistic expectations. Once you have been cleared for surgery and decide to proceed, we will schedule your appointment and provide a pre-treatment checklist with instructions to help ensure your medical journey progresses smoothly.
Septoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to fall into a deep sleep while Dr. Jones refines and repairs your nasal function. You will feel no pain, and you will wake up with no memory of the surgery. You can expect your procedure to take 30-90 minutes.
As a first step, Dr. Jones will create incisions inside the nose, ensuring a “scarless” procedure. Through the openings, he will reshape or reposition the deviated septum, allowing for maximized airflow through the nostrils. If needed or requested, Dr. Jones can combine your procedure with other functional or cosmetic treatments. Many patients choose to undergo cosmetic rhinoplasty at the same time as septoplasty.
