How Old is to Old for Septoplasty. I Am 60. Have Had It Done in my 20's, And Need it Again?

Thank you for the question.

Your age is not a contraindication to septoplasty surgery. Assuming you are in good medical and psychological health, the operation may be very beneficial. Make sure you are “working with” well experienced board certified surgeons.

Best wishes.

Arent you tired of the nosebleeds and the other things that go along with blocked breathing. Some studies have related hear problems to blocked breathing.You will feel like 4o if you can breathe again.

Your age is not a factor as much as your general health. A good surgeon who operates in an accredited facility and uses an anesthesiologist will provide you a safe experience. We are used to dealing with patients with multiple medication allergies and there are plenty of medications that can be used safely in these circumstances. A Septoplasty will help provide you with a properly functioning nose and help alleviate the complaints you are dealing with now. A preoperative evaluation of lab work and EKG should be done to properly clear you for a safe surgery. Best regards!
