Hi, I am hoping you can give me some advice. I have a deviated septum and have been recommended to have a septoplasty with turbinates and tonsils removed at the same time. My question is this - can I have my turbinates and tonsils out in a second operation 2 months after my septoplasty? and for closed surgery, can the ent shave some of my nasal hump off, or would this be considered cosmetic surgery? Many thanks
