While many procedures we perform for nasal & sinus disorders are inside the nose, removal of surface lesions (cancerous and benign) as well as structural realignment are externally visible.
Deviated Septum
This patient has a portion of her deviated septum extending to her nostril, restricting airflow. The photo on the right shows the reduction of the septum to the midline, increasing the airspace. Surgery performed by Henry Chang, M.D.
Saddle-Nose Deformity
Depression of the nasal contour can be the result of trauma, infection or previous surgery. Reconstruction of the depression in this patient was achieved by placement of a Gore-Tex implant. Surgery performed by Henry Chang, M.D.
Deviated Septum
Deviation of the septum can result in difficulty breathing through the nose. The left photo shows a deviation into the patient's right nostril. The result after surgical correction is seen on the right photo. Surgery performed by Henry Chang, MD
Deviated Septum
