Would fixing a deviated septum on my nose change my nose shape? (Photo)

Asked By:girl126 in Houston, Texas

ENT told me I have a deviated septum and I need surgery when I went in with congestion. I really don't want surgery on my nose but he's saying problem won't go away if I don't. Will this change my nose and is surgery under general anesthesia/painful?
