Septoplasty is a type of nose surgery that is performed to correct the deviation of the nose. To better understand this process, we need to have a more complete look at the structure of the nose.

Diagnosis of septal deviation

As shown in the picture above, the septum is the middle cartilage of the nose that divides the nose into two parts, and it is very important that the two cavities or two nostrils formed as a result of this division are symmetrical, the same shape and the same size.

Therefore, if for any reason the two nostrils are not the same size or the same shape and symmetry, it means that the cartilage of the nasal septum has a deviation, which often appears in the appearance of the nose.

One of the other things that can be used to detect the deviation of the septum is that one of the nostrils is smaller than the other.

What problems does a deviated septum cause?

The asymmetric appearance, the difficulty of the breathing process and the difference in the size of the two nostrils are the result of the deviation of the cartilage of the septum.

Other problems that a person's septal cartilage deviation can cause include shortness of breath, a person's tendency to touch his nose with his hands, a person's tendency to fart for no reason, and nosebleeds.

Thus, a person who has a deviated septum cartilage in the nasal area, in addition to the appearance of the nose, does not have a proper and complete respiratory health, and since easy and comfortable breathing is considered one of the most important involuntary processes of the body, therefore the person People with this condition have premature fatigue, lethargy, frequent nervousness, and in cases of acute septal deviation, it may lead to stroke and heart attack.

Now, with these interpretations, we can understand the importance of septoplasty surgery, which is not only a facial cosmetic surgery but also a therapeutic surgery.
