I am planning for septoplasty (deviated septum) but should I consider rhinoplasty? (Photos)

November 2, 2020
Asked By:shobogen2 in Irvine, CA

I first investigated non-surgical rhinoplasty. It was at this time it was identified I had a deviated septum. Therefore, I investigated a correction of deviated septum with my medical provider and now am planning for a septoplasty. However, I know it will not change the actual shape or look of my nose. Breathing through my nose is the priority, but I wanted to know the opinion of other Dr.'s if I should actually consider rhinoplasty? I have a small hump on my nose and its downturned.
