Septoplasty
What is deviated septum surgery?
Deviated septum surgery, also known as septoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to correct a misalignment of the nasal septum, the wall that separates the two nostrils. A deviated septum can result from injury, congenital defects, or natural growth, and it often leads to breathing difficulties, chronic nasal congestion, nosebleeds, and sinus infections.
During septoplasty, the surgeon repositions and reshapes the nasal septum to improve airflow and restore proper nasal function. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves the careful removal or adjustment of cartilage and bone. The goal of the surgery is to enhance the patient's ability to breathe through the nose, while minimizing complications like sinus pressure or headaches caused by the deviated septum.

Selecting the right surgeon for septoplasty can be a challenge because while rhinoplasty typically falls within the expertise of plastic surgeons, procedures involving the inside of the nose—such as correcting the septum—are traditionally handled by ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeons or otolaryngologists. The septum and sinus surgery require the specialized knowledge of an ENT surgeon, while the aesthetic portion of nasal surgery often requires the artistry of a plastic surgeon.
The most reliable approach is to choose a surgeon who is board-certified in both disciplines—plastic surgery and otolaryngology. This dual certification ensures the surgeon is qualified to address both the functional aspects of septal correction and any aesthetic concerns related to the nose's external appearance.
Fortunately, Dr. Pradeep Sinha is board-certified in both facial plastic surgery and ENT surgery, offering his patients a unique combination of skills.
