What is a deviated septum?

Your nasal septum is the wall of bone and cartilage that divides your two nostrils. When that wall shifts off-center — whether from birth, injury, or simply over time — it’s called a deviated septum. Even a moderate deviation can narrow one or both airways, making it harder to breathe and affecting your overall quality of life more than most people realize.

Septoplasty: Case Details
Secondary rhinoplasty is a welcome challenge in my practice.

This patient communicates beautifully and expressively with her eyes and smile, but her nose was distracting and causing progressively worse breathing problems.

Anatomically, her septum and columella twisted to the left, and her lower lateral cartilage on the left with asymmetric amounts of lateral crural steal and medial crural excess.
