Verywell / Alex Dos Diaz
The entire surgery should take between one and three hours.
Medical staff will monitor you as the effects of the anesthesia wear off and you begin to wake up.
Once you are awake and your anesthesia wears off, you will likely be discharged.
Most patients go home from a septoplasty on the same day.
You should have someone to drive you home.
A Word From Verywell
All surgeries carry risks and can cause anxiety.
A septoplasty is a relatively simple procedure, without large external incisions or inpatient hospital stays.
