What Is Deviated Nose Surgery?

A deviated nose is identified as a crooked nose tip or nasal ridge which does not follow a straight line down the center of the face. The deviation is usually caused by trauma or some congenital issues. A deviated nose does not just affect the aesthetics, it may even lead to septal deviation, breathing issues, chronic headaches, and rhinitis. 

The deviated nose surgery or deviated nasal septum surgery (Septoplasty) helps straighten the bone as well as the cartilage that divides the area between the two nostrils. It helps address both the functional and the aesthetic aspects at the same time.
