Septal perforation can it be fixed?

monika1mon
I want to start off saying that I had an deviated septum surgery about 4 years ago. I have a septal perforation on the right side of my nose. It has become big to the point that my right cheek looks a bit flat and the tip of my nose has changed shape. I am having difficulty breathing, dry nose, congestion, pain from time to time, and numbness mostly head area. I am not sure what to do at this point.
