SEPTOPLASTY SURGERY IN NEW JERSEY

4 Years As A Top Doctor for New Jersey Monthly

Endoscopic Septoplasty and traditional Septoplasty are a type of nose surgery used to correct deviated septums. Endoscopic Septoplasty involves using an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light source and camera attached at the end, to view inside the nose. Traditional septoplasty is done with a nasal speculum and an endoscope. Are you experiencing chronic nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, or recurring sinus issues? Septoplasty at NJ ENT offers a definitive solution to correct a deviated septum, providing lasting relief and improving overall nasal function.

Symptoms of Deviated Septum

Common deviated septum symptoms include difficulty breathing through the nose, frequent sinus infections, and nasal congestion or blockage. In some cases, a deviated nasal septum can also lead to snoring and sleep apnea. Those with deviated nasal septums may also experience frequent nosebleeds as well as facial pain or headaches due to pressure in the sinuses. If you’re experiencing any of these deviated septum symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment here at NJ ENT to review possible treatments that can help improve your quality of life. The sooner deviated septum is identified and treated appropriately, the easier it is to manage.

Reasons for Surgery

Both forms of septoplasty can help improve airflow in patients who suffer from nasal obstruction due to a deviated septum. For both types of septoplasty , the incisions are hidden within the nose and cartilage is reshaped or removed to repair the obstruction. Both surgeries are minimally invasive and recovery times are usually short. Septoplasty can help improve a patient’s quality of life by reducing snoring, breathing problems, sinus infections, and recurring headaches. Septoplasty is considered to be a safe procedure with minimal risks of complications or adverse events. Septoplasty can be beneficial for long-term nasal health and is an effective solution for individuals suffering from deviated septums.

Septoplasty Procedure

Septoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. In this procedure, your surgeon at NJ ENT will insert a small endoscope into the patient’s nose with the help of a local anesthesia. The endoscope transmits images onto a monitor so that the doctor can clearly view inside the nose. Surgical instruments are then used to move any cartilage or bone obstructions out of the way to improve airflow through the nasal passages.

Recovery and Results

Post-septoplasty, recovery typically involves minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week. Some individuals may experience mild breathing difficulty, mild swelling, congestion, or nasal drainage, which usually resolves in the days following the procedure. The results of septoplasty become increasingly noticeable as nasal breathing improves, contributing to an overall enhancement in respiratory function.

If you think Septoplasty may be the right solution for you, speak to your NJ ENT doctor about whether this type of procedure is the best option for your condition. Septoplasty can result in improved breathing ability and a better quality of life overall!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a septoplasty and turbinectomy with Dr. Gregory Smith in December of 2025. After years of being too terrified to have the procedure, Dr. Smith was the first and only provider to make me feel calm and confident about my decision to pursue surgery. He was extremely thorough in the process and took every precaution necessary. Dr. Smith always made me feel involved throughout the process and always explained every step along the way, including the surgical procedure itself and post-op care. Even with my surgery being a few days before the holidays, Dr. Smith still gave me his contact information in case I needed anything while healing. I cannot thank Dr. Smith enough for everything he did for me, my life is changed forever! There’s no one else I’d trust more, and I definitely recommend Dr. Smith for all your ENT needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffered a serious sinusitis until I met Dr Smith. After consultation, it was decided that extracting the polyps would be a better option. I was very impressed with the outcome of the procedure. He’s also very proactive about the follow ups making sure that the results remain positive.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr.Reddy is a phenomenal ENT, I have had a sinus surgery from him to remove maxillary sinus polyps and may be needing another procedure for my sphenoid sinuses and would absolutely have him perform that procedure as well without hesitation. I have a complex medical history and Dr.Reddy was highly recommended by my other specialist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been seeing Dr.Reddy, ENT specialist and I'm very pleased with his approach. I have a deviated septum and he has managed to control my symptoms with a nasal spray rather than surgery. He's very compassionate and very easy to converse with. I actually enjoy my appointments because of his kindness and concern for me as a patient and a person.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a septoplasty with Dr. Samir Undavia and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and results. From the first consultation, he was patient, thorough, and explained everything clearly so I felt confident going into surgery. The procedure and recovery were much easier than I expected, and I credit that to his skill and expertise. He and his team were attentive and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I’m breathing so much better now and am so grateful for his excellent care. Highly recommend Dr. Undavia!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The office of Dr. Reddy is organized and all members of team are compassionate and welcoming to the practice.  I had septoplasty surgery last year and I have to say that care was given to thoroughly explain the procedure and recovery.  I am now quite fully recovered and enjoy the feeling of good breathing and lack of constant nasal issues.  I highly recommend this practice, esp my doctor, Dr.  Reddy to everyone, and have done so.  Thank you for your care.

I had put off a septoplasty for years because of concerns about the procedure and recovery, but Dr. Undavia was excellent, talked me through each step of the process, and the recovery was a breeze.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t believe how much better I feel since having the procedure with Dr. Undavia. I had been dealing with a major septal issue for over 20 years and started seeing Dr. Undavia almost 2 years ago.  His bedside manner is second to none and truly cares about his patient’s well being.  He didn’t rush into recommending an operation as we tried to treat my issue over time with a variety of non surgical methods first. When it was time to actually have my procedure last week, I was anxious and even up to the day of surgery was doubtful that what he was going to do would make a huge difference.  Not only could I breathe clearly for the first time in 2 decades, I’m still in the days of recovery.  It’s quite incredible and I’m hopeful about this part of my health for the first time ever. I have driven over an hour each way for my visits with Dr U and would highly recommend him to anyone considering a specialist.  Even the staff at the hospital, unsolicited, echoed the feedback that he was the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After having surgery for a deviated septum I had a large septal perforation as well as problems with mucus in my throat. After extensively reading about my condition I was fortunate to find Dr. Undavia. I was impressed that he worked with Dr. Russell Kridel and confident he could help me. I had seen several doctors who were not willing to. Nearly all the tissue and cartilage was gone from my nose which  had to be completely reconstructed by taking skin from my ear and scalp. Dr. Undavia is compassionate and reassuring.  He has provided me with excellent care. I hold him in the highest esteem.
