How Does a Deviated Septum Develop?

Some people are unfortunate enough to be born with a deviated septum. This can occur during fetal development or due to injury during childbirth. After birth, this condition is most commonly caused by an injury that moves your nasal septum out of place. Risk factors for this issue include playing contact sports, getting into a car accident, or experiencing other trauma to your nose.

What Are the Signs?

Having a crooked septum is quite common. However, when it’s severe, this issue can block one side of your nose and reduce airflow. This can cause breathing difficulty and hurt your quality of life. Depending on your symptoms, septal surgery may be the only option available for improving your comfort. This surgery can be performed along with your rhinoplasty procedure to ensure the best outcome.

Surgery for a Deviated Septum
