about septoplasty
deviated Septum surgery
Breathing touches every aspect of our health and every minute of our lives. A deviated septum can block airflow through one or both nostrils, making it difficult to breathe well. This surgery, which can often be done at the same time as a cosmetic rhinoplasty, can help you breathe better for the rest of your life.
what is...
A Deviated Septum?
A deviated septum is a condition in which the cartilage and bone that divides the nasal passage is crooked, blocking airflow and making it difficult to breathe. The septum is made up of cartilage and bone and divides the nasal cavity into two passages. The septum is usually straight, but it can be crooked or deviated, whether from injury or naturally since birth.

How does Deviated Septum Surgery work?
Also known as septoplasty, the procedure is designed to correct a misaligned nasal septum - the thin wall of cartilage and bone that separates the nostrils. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision inside the nostrils to access the septum, minimizing visible scarring. The deviated portions of cartilage and bone are then carefully removed or repositioned to create a straighter septum. This procedure can be combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty procedures to simultaneously enhance the overall aesthetics of the nose. Once the septum is correctly aligned, the incision is closed using sutures.
