The septum is the bone and cartilage wall that divides the nose into two nostrils. An abnormality occurs when the septum is moved to at least one side of the nose. Some people are born with an abnormality, but it also can be caused by an injury to the nose.

A septoplasty can help patients who have a deviated (displaced) or crooked septum, either congenital or resulting from injury, causing breathing issues and nasal deviation.
It’s common to possess some septum deviation. But, when it becomes severe, it’s going to cause blockage in one nostril, reducing airflow and making it difficult for you to breathe on either side of your nose or both.
When your abnormality is exposed to airflow drying effect through your nose, it could end in bleeding or crusting. During a septoplasty, your surgeon straightens your septum. They trim, reposition and replace bone, cartilage, or both.
You may consider septoplasty to correct your deviated septum if you’re having problems breathing through your nose or experiencing other symptoms that impact your quality of life significantly.
Difficulty breathing
When one cavity is significantly smaller than the opposite, it is often difficult to breathe through your nose. This symptom could also be most noticeable in the dark when you’re trying to sleep, or it can interfere with your breathing during exercise or sports activities.
You may have to compensate with persistent mouth breathing, which dries and irritates your oral mucosa and may eventually damage your teeth. Saliva may be a protectant that helps wash away debris that attracts decay-causing bacteria.
Frequent nosebleeds
An abnormality makes it harder for air to maneuver through your nasal passages, which dries the moist membranes lining your nose and causes you to be more susceptible to nosebleeds
Nasal congestion and repeat sinus infections
When half your nose is blocked, the result’s often nasal congestion and inflammation that creates it hard for your sinuses to empty. This will cause repeated sinus infections and other symptoms, like symptoms, which will be mistaken for colds or allergy-driven issues. And if you’ve got allergies, an abnormality can significantly worsen your nasal symptoms.
Headaches
The congestion associated with a deviated septum can cause stuffiness and sometimes debilitating headaches related to the pressure building in your sinuses.
Snoring, sleep disturbance, and worsening apnea
An abnormality can cause loud snoring and make it difficult for you and your household to stay asleep. It also can contribute to apnea, a significant condition that causes you to prevent breathing during sleep.
A septoplasty takes anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes to finish, counting on the complexity of the condition. You’ll be under either local or general anesthesia, counting on what you and your doctor decide is best for you.
The surgeon makes an incision on one side of the nose to access the septum, lift up the mucosa, which is the protective covering of the septum. Then the abnormality is moved into the proper position. Any barriers, like extra pieces of bone or cartilage, are removed. The last step is the repositioning of the mucosa.
You may need stitches to carry the septum and membrane in situ. However, packing the nose with cotton is usually enough to keep them in position.
Septoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis, so most patients head home on the day of the surgery. In most cases, the procedure is done under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia, which numbs a part of the body targeted for surgery, could be an option.
The procedure takes place entirely inside the nose. The doctor cuts a wall on one side of the nose and lifts or removes the mucosa, a skinny membrane that covers and protects the septum. This enables the doctor to reshape the septum’s bone and cartilage by removing some parts of the bone and cartilage, or reshaped, or repositioned. Afterward, the mucosa is placed back over the septum. The nose isn’t broken during surgery. The procedure takes anything between 30 to 90 minutes.
Afterward, the doctor may insert splints or soft packing to carry nasal tissue in situ, prevent nosebleeds and stop the formation of connective tissue. Usually, the splints stay for one or fortnight and packing remains within the nose for between 24 and 36 hours. Sometimes, the doctor uses dissolvable stitches, which dissolves on their own over time.
To further decrease the probabilities of bleeding and swelling, your doctor may ask that you simply follow these precautions for a few weeks after surgery. Counting on the extent of your surgery, you'll not do the following things:
