Will closed septoplasty fix my deviated septum? (Photos)

August 4, 2020
Asked By:Enquirer 11111 in Liverpool, GB

I would prefer closed to open surgery as I have a keloid scar on my shoulder, and would not want to risk another one (especially on my face). My nose bends to my right side of my face and my cartilage is visible from a straight beneath angle. Will I have to ask for a cartilage skin graft to level out the nostrils appearance, as cartilage is visible and it makes my columella look wonky. Will the septoplasty correct the abnormal appearance of my nose? I was told it is a deviated septum, but will septoplasty fix the wonky appearance & stop what appears to be a collapsed structure? Is my columella wonky or is it just giving this appearance due to the un-aligned cartilage bone? Will closed surgery suffice the surgical requirements? (fix my nose)
