If you're someone who will often struggle with chronic nasal congestion, persistent sinus pressure, difficulty breathing and/or poor sleep quality, you may be interested to learn that this could actually be due to an underlying structural issue in your nose known as a deviated septum. Dr. Randy Sanovich at Dallas Surgical Arts is board-certified surgeon and a top cosmetic surgeon in Dallas, Texas who helps patients restore the function of their nose, and improve their breathing and quality of life through a type of nose surgery called septoplasty.
Ideally, this wall of cartilage in your nose (septum) will sit perfectly in the middle of your nose, however, many patients come to our office complaining of a septum that is at least slightly off-center. While minor deviations are completely normal and rarely cause any noticeable problems, when this deviation is severe, it can cause a significant airflow blockage in one or both of your nasal passages. When this happens, it's time to seek a septoplasty from a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Sanovich.
