The amount of deviation of the septum alone does not usually determine if you require surgery or not. The need for surgery is determined by a combination of the amount of deviation along with your symptoms. Septal deviation along with symptoms like nasal congestion, runny nose, bleeding, or pain should be considered together. Some patients with 2-3 mm of deviation may have many symptoms. Other patients with the same amount of deviation may have no symptoms. The main goal of septum surgery is to improve your symptoms. I recommend discussing all of your symptoms as well as your deviation with your doctor. That will best determine whether surgery is a good option for you.
The patients symptoms must be considered, patients comfort breathing must be considered, patients happiness with the appearance of the nose must be considered. If all or most is a go the septum can be repaired. My Best, Dr Commons
Thank you for the question. This is a common symptom after septoplasty and rhinoplasty. The numbness comes from disruption of the nerve endings to the tip of the nose. These come through the hard palate and into the nose from below. There can also be a little numbness of the two front teeth....
Why take a chance. always select the optimal time for your surgery emotional and physical If you have a choice use your best sense.
Its actually separation of the lower later cartilages in the midline...A thin graft will cover it beautifully ..Sewing it together makes it stiff and elevates the tip
