Deviated septum

2018-09-07 07:23:01
Hi, I have a deviated septum which is causing a breath obstruction. And due to the septum deviation my nose is also deviated. So I'm planning to get a septoplasty done. Will it change my nose shape? Will it correct my nose deviation? And what all the necessary care I should take post the surgery? Kindly help.

Septoplasty can only straight internal nasal septum. It won't significantly change shape of external nose. If you want to change shape of external nose then you should consider undergoing septorhinoplasty
