A deviated septum occurs when the wall separating the nasal passages sits off-centre. It may affect airflow and can also contribute to visible nasal asymmetry.
/ Understanding the condition
A deviated septum occurs when the wall separating the nasal passages sits off-centre. It may affect airflow and can also contribute to visible nasal asymmetry.
Many visible concerns reflect normal differences in anatomy, skin structure or the way soft tissue is distributed. Genetics often determine how pronounced a feature is and when it becomes noticeable.
Ageing, hormonal shifts, pregnancy, weight change or everyday movement can alter the skin and supporting tissue over time. These changes are rarely caused by one factor alone.
A consultation can help distinguish a cosmetic concern from a condition that may need medical assessment. The most suitable next step depends on the cause, the area involved and the change someone would like to see.
/ Possible surgical solutions
The right procedure depends on the concern itself, the surrounding anatomy and your goals. That decision is made during consultation.
