A deviated septum is a displacement of the wall between the nasal passages, often causing chronic congestion, breathing difficulty, or snoring.

The septum can deviate from birth or after nasal trauma. Severe deviation interferes with airflow and may worsen sleep quality.

Dr. Kim personally performs septoplasty to straighten the septal cartilage and bone, restoring proper airflow. The procedure can be combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty when patients wish to address both function and appearance.

Dr. Kim brings dual-continent training (Brown University, Seoul) and an artistic eye to every consultation. Schedule a personal consultation to discuss whether Septoplasty is right for you.
