NOSE CLINIC
What Is Deviated Nasal Septum?
The nasal septum is a plate in the center of the nose that divides it into left and right passages. When the septal cartilage is bent or twisted, it causes nasal obstruction and various nasal conditions — a state known as deviated nasal septum.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deviated Nasal Septum
The nasal septum is the wall that divides the nose into left and right passages. When the cartilage bends or twists, causing nasal obstruction and various nasal conditions, it is called deviated nasal septum.
Symptoms include nasal obstruction, headache, sleep disturbance, post-nasal drip, reduced sense of smell, and dry mouth or bad breath. A detailed diagnostic evaluation is recommended when these symptoms are present.
After a detailed evaluation, an ENT specialist assesses the deviated area, makes a precise incision on the outer side, repositions the cartilage, and secures it with a spreader graft. Surgery takes within 1 hour under local or IV sedation anesthesia with same-day discharge; recovery is 3–4 weeks (individual results may vary). Insurance coverage may be available following a diagnostic examination.
