Will a Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty surgery disqualify me from the military?

Asked By:NickNak22 in Asbury Park, NJ

I am trying to join the Marine Corps and I have a crooked nose and a small bump on the bridge of it. Can I get those surgeries to correct it without being disqualified. And if not, can I get those surgeries done once I'm in the Marine Corps?
