Septoplasty Procedure: Diagnosis and Treatment
What is the Septoplasty Procedure?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that ENT surgeons perform for patients with deviated nasal septums. A deviated septum is when the wall between the nostrils inside the nose is crooked or off-center — when that happens, it causes discomfort and trouble breathing through the nose and mouth that can only be fixed with surgery.
By straightening the septum and clearing any obstructions, air can travel through your nasal passages without the same strain, congestion or troublesome nosebleeds.
Signs You May Need the Septoplasty Procedure
If your nasal passages are obstructed, you’re likely experiencing symptoms without knowing the root cause. The following symptoms may be signs that you have a deviated septum.
- Difficulty breathing normally through your nose
- Mouth breathing
- Nosebleeds
- Nasal pressure
- Sinus infections
- Sleep apnea
- Loud snoring
These uncomfortable symptoms can be taken care of with a septoplasty performed by a compassionate and skilled ENT surgeon — exactly what you’ll find at Renew.
