I had a septoplasty but part of my septum is still deviated. Is this normal? (Photo)

Asked By:rhal22 in Los Angeles, California

I recently had a septoplasty surgery (not a rhinoplasty) and as you can see from the picture, the septum that divides my nostrils is crooked. I was wondering if that part of the septum should have been straightened or is that part usually left untouched? could the surgery have caused that deviation? I have also attached a picture of the post operative report for a definitive answer. any help would be greatly appreciated
