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

September 30, 2023
Asked By:Generous490715 in New York, New York

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. Would a septoplasty fix the fluctuating look of my nostrils or should I consider a rhinoplasty as well? I'm currently using a nasal spray and have noticed my nostrils look taller after I take it
