Septoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated nasal septum, ensuring optimal airflow and nasal function. The nasal septum, composed of cartilage and bone, divides the nasal cavity into two passages, facilitating efficient respiration, olfaction, and mucosal clearance.
One common cause of septal deviation is chronic overuse of the depressor septi nasi muscle. Habitual asymmetric facial expressions—such as smirking or pursing the lips—can lead to an imbalance in muscle tension, gradually pulling the septal cartilage off-center. Over time, this deviation can become structural, compromising nasal airflow and leading to conditions such as nasal obstruction, rhinitis, and even chronic sinusitis. Traumatic injury can also result in septal misalignment, further impairing nasal function.
Septoplasty involves precise surgical correction: an incision is made to expose the deviated cartilage and bone, which are then reshaped or selectively removed while preserving the essential L-strut framework. Careful technique minimizes the risk of septal perforation and ensures structural integrity. In cases of bony deviation, specialized instruments are used to refine the nasal framework, enhancing both form and function.
Beyond restoring nasal symmetry, harvested septal cartilage can be repurposed for nasal tip refinement in aesthetic rhinoplasty. By addressing septal deviation, septoplasty not only enhances breathing but also contributes to overall nasal health, preventing chronic inflammatory conditions and optimizing respiratory function.
