What procedure would I need for a deviated septum and overgrowth of cartilage?

Trauma to the nose can create a fracture and displacement of the nasal bones, fracture of the Upper lateral cartilages off of the nasal bones, and can also create a fracture of the septum also known as a deviated septum. A septoplasty is required to straighten the internal deviation for air flow improvement. The septoplasty will not change the shape of the nose. A rhinoplasty can straighten the external portion of the nose.  Internal sinus related pressure  will need to be addressed with a CAT scan of the sinuses.
