Septoplasty and Nasal Breathing

The Surgery
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the central wall between the right and left nasal passages. The septum is made of cartilage in front and is made of bone in back. Dr. Paul is a dual board certified ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon. He is able to improve the septum independently, but often will perform septoplasty at the same time as rhinoplasty.
