Septoplasty

Improved Breathing

A deviated nasal septum is common and can occlude the nostrils. Straightening the septum opens the nasal passages and helps you breathe easier. Contact Kentuckiana ENT today to see a septoplasty expert in Louisville, KY.

Are you a mouth breather at night? Natural breathing occurs in the nasal passages, where air can be moisturized. Snoring can be related to obstruction of the nose. If you have a deviated septum, a septoplasty may improve your sleep quality by enhancing your airflow when you’re awake and asleep.

Fewer Sinus Infections

By opening your airways, mucus can drain easier from your nose and sinuses. A deviated septum may narrow the nasal passages and can worsen the symptoms of the common cold or sinusitis.  Septoplasty, sometimes in combination with sinus surgery or inferior turbinate surgery, can provide the relief you need.
