Pre Operative Question Answer

Can ear surgery correct a deviated septum?

Ear surgery, known as otoplasty, primarily focuses on correcting the shape, position, or proportion of the external ear. While it does not directly address a deviated septum, a separate surgical procedure called septoplasty can be performed to correct a deviated septum, which involves adjusting the nasal septum to improve breathing and potentially address related aesthetic concerns. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) will help determine the most appropriate procedure for your specific needs and goals.
