Septoplasty surgery in Barcelona | Nasal septum
English subtitled video
Septoplasty is an operation to fix breathing problems caused by a deviated nasal septum. The nasal septum is a cartilage that cannot be seen and is located right in the middle of the nose, between the two nostrils.
This operation achieves two results: better breathing and fixing the deviation of the nose to improve the aesthetic appearance.
Clínica Sanza in Barcelona is a leading centre in the treatment of nasal septum plasty.
