Asked By:tiffanyjolene in Fort Riley, KS

At my 4 week check up my surgeons PA told me I have a perforated septum (this is following a septorhinoplasty) my breathing isn't really impaired much but my concern is any deformity that may result from the perforation. The PA told me to discuss options with my surgeon. How worried should I be?
