Can a septoplasty alone help with fluctuating nostril size or should I consider a rhinoplasty as well?

Generous490715Sep 30, 2023
During each say I notice my nostrils can look wide and flat or taller and oval shaped throughout the day. I haven't had surgery (yet) but I do have a deviated septum that affects breathing.
