Septoplasty Surgery in Mumbai
Septoplasty
Struggling to breathe through your nose? Waking up with a dry mouth or snoring that disturbs your sleep? A deviated nasal septum is one of the most underdiagnosed issues affecting nasal function in India, impacting over 30% of the population. If medications haven’t helped, surgical correction could be your next step. With Septoplasty surgery or correction of the central partition of the nose in Mumbai, precision meets patient comfort at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, under the skilled hands of Dr. Shama S Kovale.

Could Your Nasal Congestion Be Structural?
Constant nasal stuffiness, mouth breathing, or one-sided blockage could indicate a physical deviation in your nasal septum—not just seasonal allergies.
Why Delay Treatment?
An untreated deviated septum can cause disrupted sleep, dry mouth, frequent sinusitis, fatigue, and even facial pressure over time. Early diagnosis leads to faster recovery and fewer complications.
