I can’t afford rhinoplasty right now and according to my ENT I have to have septoplasty ASAP. Is it OK to do separate? (photos)

You need a chin implant to balance out your nose, which is not so bad overall.  The bump on the nose should be taken down as the same time as the septoplasty. It is extremely unlikely that anybody needs a septoplasty urgently.

I would recommend waiting and doing these surgeries together.  Scarring from a septoplasty will make the subsequent rhinoplasty more complicated.  In addition, the portion of the septum that is usually removed during septoplasty is frequently used as graft material in rhinoplasty.  If you stage these procedures, the amount of material available for grafting will be significantly less.  

Hello! If you are considering a cosmetic rhinoplasty at some point in your future but cannot afford this right now, I would highly encourage you to hold off on moving forward with the septoplasty. The nasal obstruction that may be caused by your deviated septum and enlarged turbinates is purely a quality of life issue and there is no reason you would have to pursue this urgently. It may also be possible to combine a functional septoplasty (paid by insurance) with a cosmetic rhinoplasty (self pay) and potentially achieve some cost savings. Good luck!

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. It would be advisable to do the two procedures together. It would be best if you speak to your ENT surgeon and see if you could wait a while.

Thank you for your question and photos.  If you are definitely considering a rhinoplasty in the future, it would be beneficial for you to hold off on the septoplasty if possible, because septal cartilage is often utilized during rhinoplasty.  Depending on your symptoms and exam, you could consider medical treatment (i.e. for allergic rhinitis, which would not resolve with surgery anyway), inferior turbinate reduction, and/or sinus surgery in the interim.  Hope that helps, best of luck to you!

Almost every rhinoplasty includes a septoplasty as part of the procedure.  Do not have a septo if you are planning on getting a rhino down the road.  Doing so will essentially make your rhinoplasty a revision case because of scarring internally between the septal flaps.Do it together!

I would do both together since there is rarely an urgency to do a septoplasty .  You have a minimal hump and I would suggest imaging so you can discern possible result with and without a chin implant or other augmentation depending on your occlusion. It is imperative that you have a finesse rhinoplasty  since over resection of the dorsal hump will not achieve your desired result . There is no true lateral view so it is difficult to say but it looks as though your nose may be slightly over projecting. In conclusion , you are a pretty girl whether you do your rhinoplasty or not.Best
