Septal Deviation and Septoplasty

Survey
Is your nose frequently stuffy?
Do you have difficulty breathing through your nose?
Do you have to sleep with your mouth open?
Are you unable to get enough air through your nose during exercise?
Have you had an injury to your nose in the past?
Did you ever break your nose?

Information
-  A septal deviation or deviated septum occurs when the center of your nose that divides the two sides is crooked blocking one or both sides of your nose for air to pass.

Solution

-          A septoplasty is an operation to correct crookedness of your nasal septum.

-          This surgery is performed to relieve nasal blockage and improve your breathing. 

-         There is no medical treatment such as pills or sprays that will correct a septal deformity—only surgery.
