I am scheduled for surgery in June for a severely deviated septum. I am hopeful it will help with my balance issues. I had an ENT tell me once that I needed something done to my Eustachian tubes, but they couldn't get to those until they fixed my septum. At a different ENT now. I'm affected on the left side and often feel like that side of my face is heavy. Wondering if the surgery will help with that also...
It is the eustachian tube that is affecting your balance, not the deviated septum. I hope the surgery is better now. I had deviated septum surgery on my left side in the early 1970s and it didn't help. I went through the entire procedure and the two weeks recovery afterwards and I did not get any benefit but I'm sure they're more skilled at it now. I wouldn't put my hopes of getting better balance on the deviated septum surgery. I always had good balance when I was younger regardless of the deviated septum. I took modern dance classes which requires quite a bit of balance with all the turns, Etc. My left side did not feel heavy though so I'm not sure what is causing that problem. Sending hugs.
