Septoplasty in NJ and NYC
03/02/2022 Nasal septal deviation is a prevalent issue that may have the dramatic quality of life ramifications. Septoplasty is a commonly performed procedure that provides various benefits to those with nasal obstruction owing to septal deviation.
Undisputed leader in deviated septum repair in New Jersey and NYC, Dr. Monica Tadros, clearly realizes that comfortable nasal breathing is directly linked to the quality of life. Hence, she offers the most advanced and effective treatment solutions for patients suffering from this condition.
What Is a Deviated Septum?
A deviated septum implies that the septal cartilage component, septal bone component, or both are crooked. When this occurs, the nasal airway is narrowed and can be one reason why breathing is impacted.
The origin of a deviated septum ultimately centers on any insult that may have caused the septal cartilage or bone to grow off course.
Many times fractures of the septum are overlooked after nasal trauma in children and teens if a CT scan or endoscopic evaluation is not performed because the septum is a deep structure that cannot be well visualized externally. Over time the shape of the deviated septum may worsen the nasal airway and sinuses for many individuals. It can consequently lead to chronic mouth breathing and affect nasal development.
What Are the Common Symptoms of a Deviated Septum?
The majority of septal deformities do not result in any symptoms. Some people may not even know they have a deviated septum. However, severe septal deformities may cause several issues.
The most common signs of a deviated septum are:
The most common signs of a deviated septum are:
- Blocked nostril(s). Obstruction will make it difficult for you to breathe through the nostril or nostrils.
- Frequent nosebleeds. The risk of nosebleeds increases when the surface of your nasal septum becomes dry.
- Facial pain. It is believed that severe cases of a deviated septum can cause one-sided facial pain. It occurs when surfaces within the nose touch and cause pressure.
- Snoring during sleep. Noisy breathing during sleep may be caused by swelling of the intranasal tissues.
- Awareness of the nasal cycle. The nasal cycle is when nasal airflow is greater in one nostril than in the other. The greater airflow nostril shifts between left and right over time. The nasal cycle is normal, but being aware of it can indicate a nasal obstruction.
- Sleeping on a particular side. If one nasal passage is narrowed, some people prefer to sleep on a particular side to optimize breathing through the nose.
