Can a septoplasty be done 4 years after an Asian rhinoplasty procedure?

July 30, 2023
Asked By:Littlemissmach in Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Four years ago, I had an Asian open-nose rhinoplasty. The procedure involved a silicone implant on the bridge, as well a cartilage graft on the nasal tip (harvested from back of ear). The issue is my deviated septum is MUCH more obvious with a larger nose (which was tiny before). Considering all the modifications to my nose, is it still possible to get a septoplasty?

Deviated septum. Will insurance pay for it?
Andrew Miller, MD says:

Insurance will pay to straighten a deviated septum if medicine does not improve breathing. Also, it is always best to work inside and outside of the nose at the same time because some of the septal cartilage may be used to reshape the nose. The insurance won't pay to do the rhinoplasty part,...

Septum deviated worse after surgery (Photo)
Stephen J. Pincus, MD says:

I am sorry for your unsuccessful surgery. Because septal cartilage has a certain "memory" in it, there is always a chance of recurrent deviation. Obviously, experienced surgeons know this and try to release points of attachment and areas of tension so that this chance of recurrence is reduced....
