Symptoms of Breathing Obstruction

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:hsl(0, 0%, 100%);">The most common issue to be corrected during rhinoplasty surgery in London is a deviated septum. The septum is the dividing tissue between the two halves of your nasal cavity. For most people, the spaces on wither side of this wall of bone and cartilage will be about the same shape and size. However, some people are born with a septum that is crooked or asymmetrical. The septum can also become misaligned as a result of trauma. Correcting a deviated septum during your rhinoplasty in London is relatively simple. The doctor simple needs to remove a small amount of bone or cartilage from the septum in order to make it more symmetrical. Similar techniques can be used to correct problems in other parts of the nose. An experienced surgeon should be able to make breathing easier at the same time as the appearance of your nose is improved.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;">&nbsp;</p>
