Deviation in nose surgery: Aesthetic surgery Royal✓

A deviated nasal septum is a condition in which the nasal partition (septum) is displaced from its natural position, which can significantly impair airflow through the nasal cavities and affect quality of life. Although some people may not show obvious symptoms, many experience breathing difficulties, chronic sinus infections, headaches, and sleep disturbances.

At our clinic, we offer modern diagnostic methods, effective treatment options, and septoplasty—a surgical correction of septal deviation—for lasting relief and improvement. 

What Is Nasal Septum Deviation and How Does It Affect Breathing?

A deviated septum occurs when the nasal septum is misaligned or curved irregularly, leading to narrowed nasal passages on one or both sides. This often causes breathing difficulties, especially during sleep, as well as an increased risk of sinusitis and other complications. 

Causes of Nasal Deviation

Septal deviation can result from trauma or injury to the nose—often due to sports, falls, or traffic accidents. In some cases, the deviation is congenital, present from birth due to improper development of the nasal septum. If injuries are not properly treated, they can lead to permanent deformities of the septum.

Many individuals are unaware of their condition until symptoms arise, such as difficulty breathing, frequent sinus infections, or other issues that interfere with daily life. 

Symptoms of a Deviated Nasal Septum

A deviated septum can cause a range of symptoms, which often develop gradually and may be easy to overlook. While some people with a mild deviation experience few problems, others may find it significantly impacts their daily functioning and overall well-being.

Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the deviation, but commonly include:

Difficulty breathing through the nose (especially on one side): Reduced airflow is most noticeable during physical activity or while lying down, when the body requires more oxygen.

• Frequent sinus infections: A misaligned septum can disrupt sinus ventilation, creating ideal conditions for infections, facial pain, pressure, and loss of smell.
• Nasal discharge and frequent colds: Irritation of the nasal mucosa due to impaired airflow may lead to chronic rhinitis. Individuals with a deviated septum are more prone to frequent colds and nasal inflammation.
• Headaches and facial pressure: Reduced sinus airflow may cause tension and pressure around the forehead, eyes, and nose—often mistaken for other causes of headaches.
• Snoring and sleep disturbances (sleep apnea): Nighttime breathing issues caused by septal deviation can lead to snoring. In more serious cases, sleep apnea may develop—temporary pauses in breathing that disturb rest and can lead to serious health problems. 

When Should You Consider Surgery?

Surgical correction of a deviated septum, known as septoplasty, is recommended when symptoms significantly affect daily activities and when conservative treatments (such as medications or nasal sprays) are ineffective.

If the deviation also affects the appearance of the nose, septoplasty can be combined with rhinoplasty to achieve both functional and aesthetic improvement. 

How Is Nasal Deviation Surgery Performed?

Septoplasty typically lasts 1 to 2 hours and is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case and in consultation with the surgeon. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully reshapes or removes the deformed parts of the septum to restore proper airflow. In some cases, additional adjustments to the nasal cavity may be necessary.

Benefits of Septoplasty

• Improved breathing: The most important benefit is unobstructed nasal airflow, leading to a significantly improved quality of life.
• Fewer sinus infections: Correcting the septum reduces the risk of chronic sinus infections and congestion.
• Reduction in snoring and sleep apnea: Better airflow at night can reduce snoring and alleviate sleep apnea symptoms. 

Recovery from deviated nose surgery

The recovery period after septoplasty usually lasts 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients quickly return to their daily activities, while it is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity for several weeks. Mild discomfort is possible in the first few days, which can be alleviated with cold compresses, nasal sprays and analgesics, as recommended by your doctor.
