I had an appointment with the nhs (uk) and they said that i can get a septoplasty done for free with them. But if i get it done privately i will have to pay for both procedures! Can the surgeon just remove the hump and make it look better so i can get the septoplasty done by the nhs?

Answer: You should not separate septoplasty and rhinoplasty into two different operations
In the past, we sometimes would separate these two operations since (back then) a rhinoplasty rarely touched the septum. Today, I use grafts of your own cartilage taken from the septum to get a better, more balanced Rhinoplasty result. So, if you have a Septoplasty done already it is harder to get good cartilage for grafting in Rhinoplasty.

Answer: Septoplasty + Rhinoplasty: Septorhinoplasty Yes, you can have a septoplasty and rhinoplasty performed separately, with adequate time in between for recovery. You may also want to consider a septorhinoplasty. This procedure combines the aspects of both a septoplasty and rhinoplasty to improve the internal functionality of the nose as well as the external appearance of the nose. The benefit of having the two surgeries done together would be a single surgery, anesthesia, and pre and post-surgery accommodations. As for receiving a septoplasty free of charge, it is likely because your insurance would be covering the medically-necessary procedure. This quote is entirely dependent on your insurance policy as well as on the policies of the surgeon whose expertise you are seeking.

Answer: Performing Rhinoplasty after Septoplasty for Deviated Septum
Yes, one may have rhinoplasty performed at a separate time from a septoplasty. However, generally one surgery followed by the other nasal surgery is more complicated, and the results more unpredictable.
First, there are two separate recoveries and anesthesia. You would loose more time away from work or school in the healing process. Second, cartilage from the septoplasty may be used for grafting in the rhinoplasty. Even hump removal may require some cartilage implants during the rhinoplasty.
Speak with a rhinoplasty surgeon to help determine the most appropriate options for you.
