Deviation of the nose surgery: Aesthetic surgery Royal✓

A deviated nasal septum is a common but often under-recognized problem that can significantly affect quality of life. While some people with this condition experience no serious symptoms, many face difficulty breathing, frequent sinus infections, and other discomforts. If left untreated, a deviated septum can lead to more serious consequences, including headaches and sleep problems. Our licensed and certified surgeons offer advanced treatments and surgeries that can provide relief and lasting improvements. Below, you will learn more about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for this condition.

What is Nasal Septum Deviation and How Does it Affect Breathing?

Nasal septum deviation occurs when the nasal partition (septum) is not aligned straight but instead is displaced from its natural position. This misalignment can obstruct normal airflow through the nose, leading to breathing difficulties. While many individuals with a deviated septum do not experience significant symptoms, others may suffer from serious breathing problems, frequent sinus infections, and headaches.

Causes of Nasal Deviation

Nasal septum deviation can result from trauma or injury to the nose, such as those occurring in sports, but it can also be congenital (present at birth). Injuries that are not properly addressed may lead to lasting deformities. Many people remain unaware of their deviated septum until they start experiencing breathing issues or recurrent sinus infections.

Symptoms of Nasal Deviation

Nasal septum deviation can produce a range of symptoms, which are often not immediately recognized. Although some individuals may not experience major issues, for others, a deviated septum can significantly diminish their quality of life. Symptoms can vary based on the degree of the deviation, with some of the most common including:

• Difficulty Breathing: Feeling of suffocation or difficulty breathing through the nose, especially on one side. This occurs because the deviation can block one nostril, impeding airflow. The problem can worsen during sleep when the body requires more air.
• Frequent Sinus Infections: A misaligned septum can reduce airflow in the nasal cavities, increasing the risk of sinus infections. Blocked sinuses may cause facial pain, loss of smell, and, in severe cases, can lead to more serious infections.
• Runny Nose and Frequent Colds: Difficulty in breathing can irritate the nasal mucosa, leading to a persistent runny nose. Those with a deviated septum are also more vulnerable to colds, as the blockage makes the mucous membrane more susceptible to infections.
• Frequent Headaches: A deviated septum can lead to headaches due to increased pressure in the sinuses, which may result in pain in the forehead, nose, or behind the eyes. These headaches can be more intense and frequent for individuals with a more severe deviation.
• Snoring and Sleep Apnea: A deviated septum can adversely affect sleep quality. When nasal breathing is hindered, individuals may snore more often. In severe cases, sleep apnea can occur, wherein a person temporarily stops breathing during sleep, negatively impacting their rest.

When Should You Consider Surgery for Nasal Deviation?

Surgery for nasal septum deviation, known as septoplasty, is recommended when symptoms significantly affect your quality of life and conservative treatments, such as medications or nasal sprays, are ineffective. Additionally, if the deviation affects the appearance of the nose, a combination of septoplasty and rhinoplasty may be performed to address aesthetic concerns.

How is Nasal Deviation Surgery Performed?

Septoplasty typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours and can be performed under general or local anesthesia. During the surgery, the surgeon removes or repositions the parts of the nasal septum that are obstructing airflow. In some cases, adjustments to the nasal cavity may also be necessary to ensure unobstructed airflow.  

General advantages of nasal deviation surgery

• Improvement of breathing: The most important benefit of this operation is the improvement of the ability to breathe through the nose, which has a positive impact on the quality of life.
• Reduction of frequent sinus infections: Correcting the deviation of the septum reduces the risk of sinus infections.
• Reduction of snoring and sleep apnea: This surgery can help people who suffer from snoring or sleep apnea, as it allows for a smooth flow of air during sleep.

Recovery after nasal deviation surgery

Recovery after septoplasty usually lasts from 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients return to their daily activities shortly after surgery, while it is necessary to avoid strenuous physical activities for several weeks. During the first days, patients are advised to use cold compresses to reduce swelling, as well as the use of nasal sprays or pain relievers.
