If my septum is deviated near my eyes would having the surgery make my dark circles go away? I know that the shape of my nose won't change, but does septoplasty change the outward appearance at all? Is it likely that my voice will change? (It's slightly nasal sounding)

Answer: Septoplasty changes Thanks for your question. If you have a septoplasty, usually the outside appearance of your nose and face doesn't change at all. Having sinus surgery may very slightly affect your voice, but I've never had someone mention this to me. I personally have had sinus surgery and didn't notice a change. As far as the dark circles, those are tough. Often it's a combination of allergy and just how your nose drains. The blood supply from your nose drains through the same system of veins as the blood from your eye sockets. So, if you have extra blood in your nose because of allergy, it tends to back things up into the eye sockets and create the dark circles. It's honestly a tough problem to make go away- I have them too! Good luck with your surgery.
