Septal Swell Body Reduction
A Minimally Invasive Option for Better Breathing
Septal swell body reduction is a targeted, minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce the size of the hypertrophic septal swell body, improving nasal airflow and reducing chronic congestion.
How the Procedure Works:
- Performed under local or general anesthesia
- The surgeon uses precision tools (such as a radiofrequency device or microdebrider) to remove or reduce excess tissue from the septal swell body
- No external incisions are made
- Often performed alongside other procedures like septoplasty or turbinate reduction
Benefits of Septal Swell Body Reduction:
- Improves nasal airflow
- Relieves chronic nasal congestion
- Enhances the effectiveness of other nasal procedures
- Minimizes the need for medications or nasal sprays
- Quick recovery time, often with minimal discomfort
What to Expect After the Procedure:
- Mild nasal soreness or congestion for a few days
- Most patients resume normal activities within a week
- Breathing improvements are typically noticeable shortly after healing
Is It Right for You? If you experience persistent nasal congestion that doesn't respond to medications, and you've been diagnosed with septal swell body hypertrophy, this procedure may be an effective option. Consult your ENT specialist for a full evaluation.
