Costa Mesa Septoplasty Cosmetic Surgery | Procedures by Dr. Tavoussi

A Costa Mesa Septoplasty may be necessary when the nasal septum is crooked and thus impedes breathing. The septum is the bone and tissue that separates the two nostrils. It may be crooked for one of several reasons, including genetics or the result of an injury. In addition, the septum may initially be straight in young children but may grow crooked as they pass through the elementary and teenage years. A Costa Mesa septoplasty should be performed after the nose has finished growing. This is usually the case by the late teen years and into adulthood.

What to Expect From Costa Mesa Septoplasty

A Costa Mesa Septoplasty does not normally change the look of the face. Rather, it is more often performed for medical reasons, and therefore is often paid for by health insurance companies. Many patients have documented medical concerns related to a deviated septum; these often include difficulty breathing, snoring and sleep apnea that can severely impede healthy sleep patterns in Costa Mesa.
