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

You can have your nose done prior to enrollment into the military. There is nothing to disqualify you from active duty. You would need to wait about two weeks before your nasal surgery before you can do heavy lifting and exercise so I would say if you did the surgery at least one month before you should be healed up and fine to serve.

I've been in military service for 28 years in the US Air Force. My last duty station was as the Chief of ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery at a level 1 trauma Army Hospital. I can answer your question regarding qualification after nasal surgery. Rhinoplasty and septoplasty surgery before entering service or during active service does not disqualify you for service. I would let your recruiter know that you're having surgery for full disclosure. 

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  A history of nasal surgery will not disqualify you from military service.  The septoplasty will likely greatly improve your breathing also.   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.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question.  While I am not an expert on medical policies within the military, I cannot imagine that having a septoplasty and/or rhinoplasty would disqualify you from joining the Marine Corps.  After having this surgery, I can only imagine that you would breathe better through your nose.  To be on the safe side, I would check with your recruiter and/or local contact before undergoing this procedure.  Be sure to consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. And thank you for your willingness to serve in the Marine Corps!I hope that this helps,–David Gilpin

I cannot imagine there would be a disqualification for the military because of a nasal surgery.  I do not know any specific policy but I have performed nasal surgery on active military members.

I can't imagine that having a rhinoplasty and septoplasty would disqualify you from military service.  They could be performed while you are in the Marine Corps provided you have the appropriate time to recover.  

Hello NickNak22,Nasal surgery should not disqualify you from military service. You can also get surgery while you are in the military. Although the price will be right, active duty military surgeons tend to have less experience than many civilian doctors. Thanks in advance for your service!Michael M. Kim, MD

No this will definitely not disqualify you. I would recommend 2-3 weeks of healing prior to enlistment to ensure that your nose and nasal bones are adequately healed. Best.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

 Performing nasal surgery will not create a disability  to enter the military service. It is possible to have both a rhinoplasty surgery and a septoplasty surgery by a military doctor as well once you're in the system.

Here's one anecdote that may help.
I had a patient 2 month ago with the same situation. He had a consultation and was interested in a rhinoplasty for both functional and cosmetic reasons. He was candid with his recruiter about his plans for surgery prior to reporting for Basic training. The recruiter was insistent that he not go through with the surgery, threatening to delay his enlistment date by 6 months and attempting to assuage him by saying he could have the exact same surgery by a military surgeon once he was in.
The recruiter's unspoken motivation is to get the recruit in. He/she will not want any activity that the recruit may engage in to jeopardize or delay that. 
Fast forward 5 weeks. Surgery with me went very well, the patient is recovering remarkably well. I've cleared him for Basic training (in 3 weeks, provided he continues to heal well). His recruiter has accepted this without issue and there will be no delays. A win-win-win, in this case.
