I have a perforated septum due to cocaine abuse in the 90s. Can it be repaired? (Photo)

Asked By:SusanDW in Alabama, AL

I had 3 surgeries to correct a collapsed nose/perforated septum, due to cocaine abuse in the 90's without success. Cartilage from ear failed, cartilage or a rib from a cadaver failed. My nose is very disfigured and embarrassing. I've become depressed and feel unemployable and haven't had a boyfriend in 8yrs. Is there a procedure now that can make these repairs so I feel better about myself and can aspire to have a great job, friends and maybe even love?
