Rhinoplasty for deviated septum, or often called as ‘nose job’, is a surgical procedure in which the alignment of bone and cartilage is corrected and the bony structures of the nose that obstruct the free flow of air through your nose are removed.

A nose job is an outpatient procedure and it takes one to two hours to perform such elaborate surgery to your nose. You are given either local or general anesthesia before the surgery. In most cases, the base of the nose is not disturbed and adjustment is done by cutting across the nostrils only. It is then covered and required postoperative medication will be prescribed by the surgeon. There are also times when rhinoplasty for deviated septum is done to correct your nasal deformity not only functionally but cosmetically. During the procedure, the surgeon may opt to reshape your nose based on the proportion of your face to improve your facial profile as well.
