I have been told I have a deviated septum. I had my septum pierced for a while and the piercer told me that I had one. I am trying to figure out if I have one and how bad it is?

Answer: Minor deviations can be normal You certainly have a left sided deviation in the front of your nose, that might translate to a posterior deviation inside the nose. If you do not have any symptoms, then I would do nothing about it. It is very common for people to have minor deviations. They are typically repaired only if there is a breathing problem that is related to the deviation, or during cosmetic rhinoplasty to optimize breathing after surgery. Wishing you the best!

Answer: Deviated septum diagnosis A deviated septum can be diagnosed by physical examination. A CT scan can also help to evaluate the septum and other internal nasal structures.
