Would a revision rhinoplasty fix my supra alar creases and other issues? (photos)

Samra21984Oct 28, 2021
I had a rhinoplasty 13 yrs ago and I have chronic rhinitis. The ENT I visited said it’s a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates , missing part of left turbinate(removed in surgery), and the supra alar creases are deep. My question is; Is the turbinate enlargement due to septum deviation?
