My right nostril bleeds very often, sometimes for no apparent reason at all. My nose is very slightly turned to the right (almost unnoticeable). My mom had nasal septum deviation. When I exhale through my nose much more air comes out of the right nostril than the left one, and if I block the right nostril when I inhale it's like my left nostril is congested, same thing when I exhale. I never broke my nose (at least not that I know). I think that's it. Thank you very much.
A deviated nasal septum may have many possible signs and symptoms. The most common symptom is nasal obstruction or stuffy nasal breathing. Other signs include nosebleeds, congestion, sinusitis, snoring, headache and mouth breathing.
There are a number of medical and surgical treatments that can aid this concern. These include antihistamines, decongestants, topical nasal steroid sprays, topical nasal antihistamine sprays, allergy shots in some patients and, finally, surgery for those who fail medical treatment or who do not want to use medications for many years.
Best of luck to you.

I developed a bump on my nose after Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty, which is hard and basicaly a lifted bone. My surgeon said he wants me to correct it as it is quite obvious; although not too large in size. He will go in and shave it down in 15 minutes and I will need no splint. This doctor is very optimistic. So, I worry that this is not accurate. Is it possible to jus go in and have the hump shaved down in such a little amount of time, and just leave with a bandage? How long will my recovery be? Last time it took me 8 months to get back to looking "myself."
After a septoplasty and rhinoplasty, you should expect to have swelling throughout your nose. You should notice some significant changes immediately after the surgery, however your final results will only be apparent after your swelling has resolved which is in 6 to 8 months after surgery.
There are several different ways to fix this deformity. If it is a mild bump, this bone & cartilage may be shaved down using only the incisions on the inside of your nose. If it is larger or there is a discrepancy between the amount of bone and cartilage, your surgeon may choose to do a component reduction which would require opening the nose for a more accurate correction.
I got punched in nose but it didn't bleed or hurt. However, it went red, the skin went wrinkly for a few days, and was tender. There is a small dip in my nose where the bone and cartilage meets. My ENT said that it's not broken, but that my septum was deviated before and its because I am growing, but I'm sure it wsn't like this before. Do you think he was right? Can this dent be fixed with a Septoplasty? I like the rest of my nose and don't want it changed. Is this possible?
The tissues of the nose are quite resilient but will fracture when subjected to great deal of force, typically more than 8 pounds of force. When this happens if there is minimal or no displacement of the cartilage or bones, you may experience swelling for a prolonged period of time but no permanent deformity. If the cartilage or bones are displaced, they may heal in this incorrect position and cause permanent deformity or a bump in your nose. Your best bet is to remember that the structures of the nose are fragile and they do require a significant time to heal. Allow your nose time to heal, approximately 10 to 12 months after a trauma or a surgery before considering a revision surgery to correct a deformity that you are noticing.
