Septal Perforation

The sense that one side of the nose is always more restricted to nasal air flow than the other is actually quite common. The most common cause of this is nasal septum deviation. At the Center for Better Nasal Breathing there are many treatments for deviated nasal septum’s. For patients with more complex cases such as revisions or severe deviated septum’s our medical director Dr. Mobley MD is particularly known for taking on some of the most challenging cases of septal deviation often receiving referrals from some of the most respected Otolaryngologists of the Mountain West.

Many patients experience reasonably normal nasal air flow in the day-time but then find it particularly hard to sleep at night. This can be a particular subset of nasal obstruction that requires a very thorough evaluation typical at the Center of Better Nasal Breathing. During your consultation we’ll explore some of the more common conditions such as a deviated nasal septum, internal valve collapse as well as turbinate hypertrophy. We’ll also take a more detailed history in patients with nighttime nasal obstructions focusing in on the contributions of snoring and possibly sleep apnea, fortunately for these patients there are many excellent choices both surgical and medical for these conditions.
