Should I undergo a septoplasty if I want to learn martial arts for self-defense?

Asked By:LazyUsername in Minneapolis, MN

I believe I have a deviated septum so I'm considering checking it out, and at the same time change up my nose to a smaller size. At the same time I want to learn a martial art out of self defense reasons, I could really care less about competitions, if I'm learning the art its to defend myself and that's it. My question is should I still consider the surgery? I've seen answers that are ok with individuals going into the military after a 2 month period, so is it not ok per this context and why?
