If a deviated septum is causing chronic congestion, difficulty breathing, or disrupted sleep, treatment can help restore normal airflow and improve your quality of life.
Dr. Tadros brings extensive expertise in nasal and facial surgery to every septoplasty procedure, correcting the underlying structural issues with precision. Her work has earned recognition as a Top Doctor and one of the leading nasal surgeons in NYC and New Jersey.
What Is a Deviated Septum?
Nasal septal deviation is a serious issue that can significantly impact your quality of life. A deviated septum implies that the septal cartilage component, septal bone component, or both are crooked. When this occurs, the nasal airway is narrowed, affecting your breathing.
There are also aesthetic concerns when you have a deviated septum. The condition can cause large bumps or crooks in your nose, however, as an experienced septoplasty surgeon, Dr. Tadros can pair the procedure with rhinoplasty to address these concerns, too. That means you’ll have a nose that works properly and looks exactly how you want it to.
A deviated septum's origin can ultimately be anything that may have caused the septal cartilage or bone to grow off course. Some of the major causes of this health condition are:
- A congenitally inherited predisposition
- Uterine development
- Trauma during childbirth
- Early nasal trauma that leads to a shift of the bony growth plate
Symptoms of a Deviated Septum
The most common signs of a deviated septum are:
- Blocked nostril(s). Obstruction will make it difficult for you to breathe through the nostril or nostrils.
- Frequent nosebleeds. The risk of nosebleeds increases when the surface of your nasal septum becomes dry.
- Facial pain. It is believed that severe cases of a deviated septum can cause one-sided facial pain. It occurs when surfaces within the nose touch and cause pressure.
- Snoring during sleep. Noisy breathing during sleep may be caused by swelling of the intranasal tissues.
- Awareness of the nasal cycle. The nasal cycle is when nasal airflow is greater in one nostril than the other. The greater airflow nostril shifts between left and right over time. The nasal cycle is normal, but being aware of it can indicate a nasal obstruction.
- Sleeping on a particular side. If one nasal passage is narrowed, some people prefer to sleep on a particular side to optimize breathing through the nose.
Benefits
Form, Function, or Both
Correcting a deviated septum can significantly enhance your quality of life by improving nasal function and breathing. When paired with a rhinoplasty, this procedure can also address aesthetic concerns, allowing you to refine the shape and appearance of your nose to better suit your facial features. For patients also dealing with nasal polyps, nasal polyp surgery and nasal polyp removal in NYC can be addressed during the same procedure.
However, if you want to keep your natural look and prefer no cosmetic alterations, the septum procedure alone will leave your appearance untouched. This tailored approach ensures that you can choose to focus solely on functional improvement, or combine procedures for both cosmetic and functional enhancements, depending on your personal preferences and needs.
