“Deviated Nasal Septum” may be a new concept you haven’t heard much about or you may be a part of the roughly 80% of the population who has one. But what is it?
The nasal septum separates the left and right airways of your nose, dividing your nostrils. When your septum is crooked, off-center or “deviated,” it can cause a restriction of the airflow in one or both of your nasal passages.
Sometimes people with a deviated septum don’t even notice the condition. It often goes undetected for years before symptoms become bothersome. Sometimes, however, severe septal deviations can trigger serious health concerns.
If you would like to learn more, we invite you to call to schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Derek Steinbacher to discuss the simple, surgical solution for a deviated septum: (203) 453-6635.
