Stephen Kleid, MBBS, FRACS · Answer

My success rate for fixing nasal obstruction in Revision septoplasty is about 90%. (It is about 95% successful for primary Septoplasty).
There is minuscule risk of problems with either primary or revision Septoplasty.

This is not a difficult question, or problem to solve. You can easily have your septum AND columella straightened by a revision. It may be done by an open or closed incision technique. A qualified surgeon should be able to accomplish it for you with minimal risk.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

The part of the cartilage you can see in one nostril is quite easy to fix. It also one of the most common things I see for revision. Some surgeons try to straighten it. It’s simpler and works better just to trim the lower edge of the cartilage by  3 or 5 mm

Frederic H. Corbin, MD (license restricted) · Answer

Thank you for the question and photos and the surgery is not risky in the hands of an expert.  So get your records and go on some consultations with experts and compare recommendations after a full examination and review of records and become fully informed about the desired procedure
