A deviated septum can make everyday breathing a challenge, leading to congestion, sinus pressure, and disrupted sleep. Septoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct nasal airflow by straightening the septum, the cartilage and bone that divide the nostrils.
About Septoplasty
Septoplasty surgically realigns a deviated septum, the structure separating the nasal passages, which may become misaligned due to heredity, injury, or natural changes over time. A significantly deviated septum can obstruct airflow, making it difficult to breathe through one or both nostrils. During septoplasty, Dr. Nathan carefully reshapes and repositions the septum, removing obstructions and straightening the nasal passage. The procedure is performed through small incisions inside the nose, ensuring no external scarring. In many cases, septoplasty is combined with rhinoplasty for patients who want to refine the nose’s appearance while improving function.
