Answer: Septoplasty Thanks for the question and photos. Unfortunately, your nose will look the same after septoplasty, as that will only fix the breathing issues inside the nose. You would need to have a rhinoplasty as well to change the appearance. Good luck!

Answer: Septoplasty A septoplasty will correct the septum, the wall inside the nose that divides the airway into the right and left side. The septoplasty will not correct any external deformities and does change the appearance of the nose. For that you would require a rhinoplasty. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

Answer: Septoplasty Thank you for your question. "Crooked" noses are very common, and are often not the result of a deviated septum alone. Pictures only tell a part of the story. A physical exam would be needed to make definitive recommendations. Based on your photos, you will likely require a septoplasty and cartilage grafts for your tip and possibly spreader grafts. The cartilage from your septum can be used for grafting. Insurance typically covers a septoplasty for a deviated septum, and reconstructions to treat breathing issues, however, every insurance plan is different. Insurance will not cover any concerns that are cosmetic in nature.

Answer: Septorhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. A septorhinoplasty would be able to repair your deviated septum and straighten your nose. A septum alone will only improve the cartilage that separates the left and right nostril airways.
