Will fixing my deviated septum change the appearance of my nose AT ALL?? (photos)

Asked By:mynose1978 in Dover, NJ

I have a deviated septum. I met my Aetna deductible and wanted to fix only the deviated septum as I cannot afford a rhinoplasty. Will fixing the deviated septum change the appearance of my nose AT ALL?? I see online that most of the time it doesn't, but sometimes it does. I hate my nose. It is crooked among other things. Will results vary between an ENT and Plastic Surgeon? I have a list of doctors that take my insurance. COMMENTS FROM DOCTORS ONLY PLEASE - Thank you!
