What Is a Deviated Nasal Septum?
The nasal septum is the wall of cartilage and bone that separates the two nasal passages. A deviated septum occurs when this structure is bent or displaced, causing partial or complete blockage.
Causes may include:
- Congenital (present from birth)
- Nasal trauma
- Worsening with age
Symptoms of a Deviated Nasal Septum
You may benefit from septoplasty if you experience:
- Persistent nasal blockage (one or both sides)
- Difficulty breathing through the nose
- Recurrent sinus infections
- Post-nasal drip
- Facial pressure or headaches
- Snoring or disturbed sleep
- Reduced sense of smell
Diagnosis of Septal Deviation
ENTcare evaluates septal deviation through:
- Detailed ENT examination
- Nasal endoscopy
- Assessment of airflow obstruction
- CT scan of the sinuses (if required)
When Is Septoplasty Recommended?
Septoplasty is advised when:
- Medical treatment fails to relieve nasal blockage
- Septal deviation causes recurrent sinusitis
- Nasal obstruction affects sleep or exercise tolerance
- Deviation interferes with sinus drainage
- Septal deviation complicates sinus surgery
Septoplasty Procedure Explained
Septoplasty is a functional nasal surgery performed through the nostrils without external scars. Key points:
- Straightens the nasal septum
- Preserves normal nasal structures
- Improves airflow and sinus drainage
- Can be combined with turbinate reduction or sinus surgery if needed
Recovery After Septoplasty
- Mild nasal congestion for a few days
- Improved breathing as swelling subsides
- Return to daily activities within several days
Full improvement in airflow is usually noticed within a few weeks.
Septoplasty vs Rhinoplasty
Septoplasty improves nasal function and breathing, while rhinoplasty changes the nose's external appearance. Both can sometimes be combined if needed.
