Hello~

🧡your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)🧡

​

A deviated septum is a condition where the nasal septum inside the nose is bent,

causing nose-related symptoms or functional problems.

​

The septum is the cartilage that divides the nostrils and the entire nasal cavity into left and right sides,

and when this cartilage is bent, it is called a deviated septum.

​

Since a deviated septum is a structural issue, it can be corrected through surgery.

Today, we will look into whether a deviated septum can recur after surgery.

​

Does a deviated septum recur after surgery?

Because the bent cartilage and bone parts of the septum are removed as much as possible,

recurrence is not very common.

However, when removing the septum, the parts necessary for basic structural support must be left behind.

If this remaining portion is bent, the nose may appear crooked and the deviated septum can recur,

which is why deviated nose correction should be performed together.

Additionally, the inner bone part is connected to the skull,

so it cannot be entirely removed. Because of this, some symptoms may occasionally remain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a deviated septum?

It refers to a condition where the septal cartilage, which divides the nostril and the entire nasal cavity into left and right, is bent. This is a structural disease that can cause various nose-related symptoms or functional problems.

Can a deviated septum be treated with medication?

No, it must be corrected through surgery. Since a deviated septum is a structural problem caused by bent cartilage, surgical correction is necessary for a fundamental solution.

Is there a possibility of recurrence after deviated septum surgery?

Recurrence is not common, but it is possible. During surgery, the bent cartilage and bone are removed as much as possible for correction, but if the part left to support the nose is bent, it can recur.

Should a crooked nose be corrected at the same time as deviated septum surgery?

Yes, it is recommended to correct them together. This is because when the septum is removed, a part that needs to be supported is left, and if this part is bent, the nose may appear crooked and the deviated septum may recur.

Can symptoms remain after surgery?

Yes, some symptoms may remain. The bony part inside the nose is connected to the skull, so it cannot be entirely removed during surgery, which can sometimes lead to partial persistence of symptoms.
