Step into a world where breathing comes easy and snoring is long forgotten. At Eos ENT, we specialize in Septoplasty, a life-enhancing procedure designed with your well-being in mind.
What is a Septoplasty?
Ever heard about celebrities blaming a deviated septum to disguise a nose job? There's no shame in wanting to enhance your appearance but let's get real – a deviated septum is no joke and a Septoplasty is a restorative treatment that doesn’t actually change the appearance of your nose. This procedure tackles the root cause of breathing difficulties, chronic sinus issues, and disrupted sleep – the deviated septum. By straightening out your nasal passage, Dr. Nima can improve your breathing and overall health.
Symptoms of a Deviated Septum
Reduced Sense of Smell
A diminished ability to smell affects not just your enjoyment of food but can also be a sign of nasal obstruction.
Postnasal Drip
An excessive flow of mucus down the back of your throat could indicate structural nasal problems.
Headaches
Recurrent headaches often trace back to sinus pressure, a direct result of nasal blockage.
Facial Pain
Unexplained facial pain, especially around the sinus areas, can be linked to ongoing pressure from a deviated septum.
Snoring and Sleep Apnea
If your partner complains about your snoring, or if you wake up feeling tired, it's time to explore the structural causes behind these issues.
Nasal Congestion
That constant stuffy nose might not just be allergies—it could be a structural issue within your nose.
Frequent Nosebleeds
An uneven nasal cavity can increase your risk of nosebleeds, often due to the delicate tissues being more prone to drying and cracking.
Blocked Nasal Passages
If one side of your nose feels perpetually blocked, you're likely experiencing the primary sign of a deviated septum.

Are you a candidate for a Septoplasty?
If the symptoms of a deviated septum resonate with you, a Septoplasty consultation with Dr. Nima could be the first step toward a more comfortable, fulfilling life. Reach out to us, and let's discuss your needs.
The Septoplasty Process
Pre-Operative Evaluation
The process begins with a thorough pre-operative evaluation, where Dr. Nima conducts a detailed examination of your nasal structure, discusses your medical history, and uses state-of-the-art imaging to understand your septal deviation. The exam is a painless process that less than a minute and simply involves looking inside your nose to assess the septum. For patients who do suffer from a deviated septum, Dr. Nima will carefully review your options with you and work with you to develop a plan to correct the problem. This is usually covered by insurance.
The Surgery Experience
On the day of the surgery, you'll be in the skilled hands of our medical team, who prioritize your comfort and safety above all. The procedure, typically lasting one to two hours, is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Nima makes a small incision inside the nose resulting in no visible scar. The deviated portion of the cartilage is isolated and either removed or shifted back into place to correct breathing problems. Dissolvable sutures are used, and there is no uncomfortable nasal packing afterward.
Comprehensive Aftercare
Post-surgery, you'll receive detailed aftercare instructions and support from our team. We provide guidance on everything from pain management to activity restrictions, ensuring your recovery is as comfortable and efficient as possible. You should immediately enjoy easier breathing through your nose, sounder sleep, and improved stamina. Of course, if you should have post-operative concerns, we welcome a return visit.
FAQs
Recovery varies by individual, but most patients find they can return to non-strenuous activities within a few days. It's important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks to ensure proper healing. Dr. Nima provides customized advice based on your specific situation and progress.
Like any surgical procedure, Septoplasty carries some risks, such as bleeding, infection, or an adverse reaction to anesthesia. However, under the expertise of Dr. Nima, these risks are minimized. Pre-surgical consultations are thorough, allowing Dr. Nima to understand your medical history, concerns, and goals fully.
This understanding aids in tailoring the procedure to you, further minimizing risks. Post-operative care is equally critical to a successful outcome. Our team provides comprehensive follow-up care, including detailed instructions for at-home care, pain management, and activities to avoid during recovery, ensuring that you have the support and guidance you need, every step of the way.
