I want to get a rhinoplasty & recently discovered I have a Deviated Septum. how do I find out the severity of the deviation? saw an ENT who pointed out the deviation with the inside the nose device?, however he didn't seem too concerned about my situation, & I just didn't get a good vibe so I did not return for a second consult as they suggested to do "in office follow up imaging". I mostly only breathe through one nasal passageway, & get stuffed easily. they also stated I had sinus infection.

Answer: Consultation Needed Hello,I would recommend getting a consultation with a dual EMT and a plastic surgeon for the best advice on what to do. They will determine how severity of the deviated septum and fix it with a septorhinoplasty if it is desired. Contact a board certified facial plastic surgeon and EMT for the best advice and results.

Answer: How do I find out the severity of a Deviated septum? The severity of the Deviated septum is documented time of the examination or with a CAT scan of the sinuses. The deviation that you noted on the external portion of the nose is not related to the deviated septum in the back of the nose. A rhinoplasty is required to change the shape of the external appearance of the nose indentation, while a septoplasty is performed in the back of the nose to improve airflow dynamics. Repairing a deviated septum will not change the shape of the nose.
