Nasal Septum Deviation

The most common problem in recent times is nasal septum deviation! The nasal septum is all of the bone and cartilage structures that serve as a wall between the two nostrils of the nose, which is at the exact focal point of the face and is the midline of the nose.

If the nasal septum is not in the correct position or has any curvature, it will prevent you from breathing properly. Breathing is essential for maintaining overall body health. Therefore, any breathing problems caused by nasal septum deviation will result in complaints about your breathing and harm your whole body’s health.

What Problems Does Nasal Septum Deviation Cause?

The most prominent nasal septum deviation symptoms are nasal congestion and breathing problems. These problems tent to arise during the common cold in individuals with mild nasal septum deviation.

Other potential health concerns associated with nasal septum deviation include nasal congestion, snoring, sleep apnea, congestion in the Eustachian tube, fluid accumulation in your ears, and headaches. Additionally, individuals may experience constant bleeding from the nose and a runny nose.

Nasal Septum Deviation Surgery

The nasal septum is designed to be thin and straight, with a typical structure that allows for easy breathing. However, if the septum is curved or in the wrong place, it can cause nasal congestion, which may require surgical intervention. During nasal septum deviation surgery, Clinic Mono’s contracted team of expert surgeons basically remove the bone tissues inside the nose that prevent breathing or make it difficult. Mono’s collaborated surgeons then reposition the existing cartilage tissues by rearranging them accordingly.

The surgeon generally makes a small incision under the nose and reaches the nasal tissues in septum deviation surgery. With the nasal septum deviation procedure, the septum part that causing nasal congestion is removed or repaired and positioned correctly. Any method chosen during septum deviation surgery will not affect the appearance of the nose from the outside. After the septum deviation surgery, Mono’s contracted surgeon will close the incisions with sutures.

What Should You Pay Attention To After Nasal Septum Deviation Surgery?

• You should be careful against blows to your nose to avoid any trauma to your nose after the surgery.
• You should be careful not to blow your nose for the first week. You can start light nose blowing one week after the operation.
• You should hold back your sneeze and be careful not to sneeze with your mouth open.
• The swelling and feeling of fullness in your nose will decrease within a few weeks after the surgery.
• Depending on the healing, crusting will occur inside your nose. This may take 3 to 6 weeks.
• To reduce swelling and fullness, it would be better for you to hold your head a little higher instead of lying flat.
• You should not take a shower with boiling water, and you should stay away from heavy sports and exercises such as swimming for a while.
