Do I have a deviated septum and can my asymmetry be corrected with a septoplasty? (photos)

Asked By:Coffeeinthe80s in Maringouin, Louisiana

A few years ago, i noticed that my right nostril seems to be harder to breathe out of than my left. Nothing that affects my daily life but enough for me to notice after work outs at times or certain sleeping ways. I also noticed around this time that my nose now slants to the right. It didnt do that growing up and i dont recall ever having an injury. I know rhinoplasty is usually recommended to straighten nose, but if mine is the result of deviation could septoplasty only fix it?
