Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. PDO threads should not be used in the nose and will never work for a deviated septum. Surgery is a much better option if you have a deviated septum. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
