Ct scan says septum is midline but two surgeons told me it’s deviated?

Asked By:justwantbreathingback in Neptune Beach, Florida

I scheduled surgery today for septoplasty. I’m nervous because I’m desperate to breathe good again and my cat scan said my septum was midline. Can the septum be deviated enough to impact breathing but show up as mid line in the findings of my Ct scan results? I spent a lot of money on it and I’m really scared it won’t help and I’ll need another surgery down the line.
