Can I live without nose septum?

May 19, 2016
Asked By:lili94 in East Poland, ME

I have two perforations in my septum. They might be to big to close, I am wondering what can I do if I won't have the nose septum. Will I have breathing problems or some kind of other life complications because of it? And is there any surgery to fix the quality of life if so happens?
