Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the central wall between the right and left nasal passages. The septum is made of cartilage in the front and bone in the back. Dr. Paul is a dual board-certified ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon. He can improve the septum independently but often will perform septoplasty during general rhinoplasty procedures.

The idea is to do the septoplasty at the same time as the rhinoplasty because the septal cartilage that is deviated or blocking the airway can be repurposed for nasal grafting. If the septoplasty is done before the rhinoplasty, valuable septal cartilage may be absent and alternative sources of cartilage may be used such as irradiated cadaveric rib cartilage, autologous rib cartilage, or ear cartilage.
