Could I be needing a septoplasty or a rhinoplasty, or both? (Photos)

August 19, 2021

Hi. When I was a kid, I needed surgery for a blocked airway causing pus leaking from one eye, which my parents declined. I'm 22 and still suffer from sinus issues, nosebleeds and migraines and I'd like to know if a septoplasty could fix that? Would I be eligible? I'd be open to a rhino to fix the aesthetic of my nose too, or would a septo be enough for that as well? I love my side profile but the front of my nose is too large and asymmetric I think. Thanks :)
