"Open" septoplasty with a "w" incision vs. closed septoplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:BetteBeau in Plainfield, IL

I have a caudal septal deflection. My surgeon recommends an "open" septoplasty with a "w" incision, instead of closed septoplasty surgery. Is this a reasonable request for a better outcome?
