Answer: Deviated nasal septum based on your photograph it is not possible to tell what the status of your nasal septum is. Your symptoms of nasal obstruction could be related to a deviated septum, but this can only be decided upon by looking inside the nose or with imaging. If the septum is deviated, non surgical options would involve medications to decrease nasal congestion and inflammation. If medications do not work, then surgical correction of the septum and possibly other structures that affect the nasal airway would be needed. Begin by visiting with a surgeon who is experienced with rhinoplasty, septoplasty and the functional nasal airway.

Answer: Septal deviation and other sources of airway obstruction An intranasal exam (inside your nose) would be necessary to determine the severity of your septal deviation. The only effective, permanent way to straighten a deviated septum is with a surgery: septoplasty.

Answer: Deviated Septum May Cause Mouth Breathing Although a Deviated Septum May Cause Mouth Breathing there are also other causes such as swelling of your soft tissues on the side of your nasal breathing passages (inferior turbinates), enlarged tonsils and adenoids, etc. An exam of the inside of your nose is required to understand the cause. If it is a deviated septum then surgery is required to fix it.

Answer: Non-surgical rhinoplasty will not be helpful. You need nasal septoplasty and perhaps rhinoplasty. Dear Pielover9686:
