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

Question

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?

Since you've undergone multiple modifications to your nose, including a silicone implant and cartilage graft, it's essential to consult with a qualified ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeon or a plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty who will be able to assess your specific situation, review your medical history, and determine if a septoplasty is feasible and safe in your case.
