Living with one side of your nose constantly plugged is like adjusting to life with a broken arm. You learn to adapt but it holds you back. A deviated septum is a misalignment in the center cartilage that separates the nostrils in your nose. You can be born this way or suffer trauma that causes the issue. A deviated septum can contribute to snoring, constant mouth breathing, recurring sinus infections and nosebleeds. Septoplasty—a simple in-office procedure that shaves down the septum cartilage that is creating blockage within your nasal passages, helping you to breathe easier through both nostrils.
What is septoplasty & how does it work?
Septoplasty is used to help make nasal breathing more effortless by treating a deviated septum causing nasal obstruction. This simple in-office procedure helps open your nasal airway by shaving areas of the septum—the cartilage that divides your nose—that can stick out, creating nasal blockage and restricting airflow every time you breathe.
