Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to straighten the bone and cartilage dividing the space between your two nostrils (septum). When the septum is crooked, it’s known as a deviated septum.

How is the procedure performed?

The doctor cuts a wall on one side of the nose and lifts or removes the mucosa, a thin membrane that covers and protects the septum. This allows the doctor to reshape the septum's bone and cartilage. Sometimes parts of the bone and cartilage are removed, then reshaped and repositioned.
