What is a deflection of the nasal septum that may obstruct the nasal passages possibly resulting in infection?
deviated septum
What do the sinuses need in winter?

What structures warm moisten filter air?

What is the connection between cocaine users and septoplasty?

What is an alternative to septoplasty for sinusitis?

How do nose jobs help stuffy noses?
Nose jobs don�t fix stuffy noses, but they are often performed in conjunction with other internal nasal procedures that help with blocked nasal passages and sinus trouble.Many people experience blocked nasal passages and trouble breathing due to crooked septums and nasal tissue swelling. Since an outer nose defect may accompany septum issues (due to trauma to the nose) many doctors will combine nose jobs with a septoplasty or turinoplasty, which aligns the septum and reduces nasal swelling.A septoplasty aligns the septum to the midline. A septum is a wall of cartilage that divides your nasal cavity into two nostrils. If your septum is �deviated� or sits off-center, you may experience less sinus drainage, which can cause chronic sinus infections. Candidates for septoplasty have these symptoms:Blockage of one or both nostrilsNasal congestion, sometimes one-sidedFrequent nosebleedsFrequent sinus infectionsAt times, facial pain, headaches, postnasal dripNoisy breathing during sleep (in infants and young children)Source: The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck SurgeryThe procedure includes an incision through the nose, thus leaving no visible scars. A septoplasty is generally not recommended in young children or teenagers as their septums are still growing until the age of 18.A turbinoplasty reduces turbinates, which is the tissue that causes swelling and nasal congestion. Candidates for turinoplasty have frequent nasal congestion and blockage that isn�t elevated by decongestants or steroid nasal sprays. A surgeon performs a turbinoplasty using laser instrumentation.
Does adenoids affect your speech?
Yes, enlarged adenoids can lead to a nasal quality in speech, as they can obstruct the airway and affect the sound resonance. In some cases, adenoids can also cause speech difficulties such as nasal congestion or difficulty pronouncing certain sounds. Treatment for enlarged adenoids may help improve speech in these cases.
How does cosmetic surgery of the nose cause perforated septum?
Cosmetic surgery of the nose may cause perforated septum when it damages the septum's blood supply.
How may perforated septum be prevented?
Perforated septum may be prevented by controlling nosebleeds by pinching and vaginal estrogen cream can toughen the blood vessels.
Small particles may dissolve in a nasal what?
Small particles may dissolve in a nasal membrane.
Besides rhinoplasty, what other nose surgery procedures are common?
