Recently, the number of people complaining of various diseases such as headache, frequent nasal congestion, and respiratory discomfort due to fine dust is increasing. The causes of respiratory symptoms generally include allergic causes such as fine dust, but another cause is deviated nasal septum caused by congenital and acquired factors.

The deviated nasal septum is called when septum, a wall that divides the nostril in two and located vertically in the middle of the nose, is bent or gets twisted. The twisted septum could cause the deformation of nose, nasal congestion, and chronic headache. The deviated nasal septum surgery can improve the shape and air passage by correcting the twisted pillar of nose

Different types of deviated nasal septum are present in normal people with some curves and 70% of adults have deviated nasal septum. In particular, it is divided into C type or S type depending on the state of the bending. The central function of the nose is bent, causing the deviated nose. Therefore, it should be done correctly with functional rhinoplasty according to the type of individual.

If your nose is crooked, it can not only give an unnatural appearance, but also lead to functional nose problems such as clogging one side of the nose.

Symptoms of deviated nasal septum vary, but the most common symptom is nasal congestion. The narrowed side of the nose is often clogged and can cause hypertrophic rhinitis if it is maintained for a long time. The surgical treatment is the most effective method for deviated nasal septum. Even though the non-surgical medication treatment is possible, the recurrence possibility of deviated nasal septum is high because it is the nasal disease due to deformation in shape of the nose. As a surgical treatment, it is recommended to correct the structural deformation of the nose as soon as possible before rhinitis and sinusitis.

The nose is an important part of breathing’s start point and is the center of the face, located in the middle of the face to determine three-dimensional image. Because of these important features, functional rhinoplasty for deviated nasal septum should be performed by a specialist with a good understanding of internal structure of nose and aesthetic sense.

Such deviated nasal septum functional rhinoplasty does not simply raise the nose hospital’s safety system to minimize the likelihood of side effects such as inflammation, hematoma, or recurrence for satisfactory outcomes. Since it is difficult operation that requires accurate analysis of functional and aesthetic factors through anatomical analysis such as the structure and function of the nose, it is important to establish a surgical plan in close connection with the otolaryngologist and plastic surgeon that have accurate diagnosis and a plenty of experience in these field.
