They can be repaired directly, by using temporalis muscle fascia, by using Alloderm or a similar product, or by placing a septal button.In addition, you may also have to consider the structural integrity of the bridge of your nose. A septal perforation can weaken the bridge and cause it to "collapse." In these instances, additional surgery to improve the support of your nose may also be needed.
