Hello,I had a septoplasty about 10year ago no narrowing mainly the tip to breathe better and little lift on the tip nothing crazy. Then About 4 years ago I had to go for double jaw surgery since I used to played soccer and had issues with my bite in the past. I found out I had to do it since I did braces and didn’t fix it.
