Deviated Septum and Droopy Nose?

Septoplasty will be able to straighten the deviated portion of your septum, but you will need a rhinoplasty to straighten and address the droopiness of the tip of your nose.  

The septum is what causes a nose to be crooked. When the center or inside part is crooked, fixing that part of the deviated septum will help improve breathing. An angled or crooked outside of the nose is also due to a crooked septum, but from the external or outer portion of the septum. This doesn't necessarily impact breathing. So, fixing this part to straighten a crooked nose is usually considered cosmetic and categorized as a rhinoplasty by most insurance companies. 

A deviated septum may or may not contribute to a droopy nose. Correcting this may be as simple as a rhinoplasty. But it may also require a rhinoplasty. See a nasal expert to evaluate you.
