Don’t Deviate From Normal Breathing!

What is a Septoplasty?

The septum is the internal nasal wall of cartilage and bone that separates your nostrils into two chambers. If the septum becomes “deviated” from its straight and balanced position because of genetics or injury, it can interfere with normal breathing and increase the risk of sinus infections. Septoplasty is surgery to fix a crooked or “deviated” septum. The surgery is considered “functional rhinoplasty,” meaning it is performed to increase and enhance breathing function. Septoplasty does not change the shape of your nose and is not a cosmetic or aesthetic procedure.

What are the benefits of a Septoplasty?

Septoplasty treats breathing problems caused by a deviated septum or nasal polyps. The procedure allows your sinuses to drain better, which can result in fewer sinus infections. Additionally, with a Septoplasty New Jersey patients that visit us can often experience reduced or eliminated snoring, leading to improved sleep quality. Septoplasty may be a good treatment option if you have frequent difficulty breathing through your nose. In some chronic cases, septoplasty has effectively reduced the frequency and severity of nosebleeds.

Here’s How It Works.

Your Septoplasty Procedure

If you elect to go forward with septoplasty for a period of time before and after your surgery, as directed by Dr. Godek, you’ll need to hold off on any medications or supplements that can interfere with normal blood clotting. The goal of septoplasty is to reposition your septum to the middle of your nose. To accomplish this, Dr. Godek may need to cut and remove parts of your septum before placing them back in their proper positions. The procedure takes between approximately 90 minutes under light anesthesia.

The Difference Can Be Dramatic.
