Deviated Septum
Find Cosmetic Surgery Clinics »
The nasal septum is the section of cartilage providing the internal dividing structure between the nostrils.
In diagnosed cases of a ‘deviated septum’, the septum is severely off-centre, which, depending on the severity of the case, can cause various problems and discomfort.
Symptoms of a deviated septum include:
- Repeated sinus infections
- Nasal blockage and congestion
- Nosebleeds
- Pain in the nasal area, sometimes accompanied by headaches
- Laboured breathing and snoring
If you suffer from any or all of these symptoms on a regular basis you should consult either your GP or a trained ear, nose and throat specialist to assess whether you may have a deviated septum. If this is the case then the most commonly performed surgical treatment is a Septoplasty, which should correct the problem with the septum and alleviate distressing symptoms.
