Unique perforated septum - is it worth fixing? (photo)

Asked By:NewMe__2018 in Florida, FL

As seen by two specialist I have a unique perforated septum. I have an anterior perforated septum, not at the septal cartilage but at the membrane between the septum and columella where there is no cartilage. One of the specialist called it a nose ring hole location. The hole is approximately 0.5 mm in diameter.Can it even be fixed due to the anterior nature? Not experiencing any symptoms but am worried about the development of a saddle nose or destruction of columella
