Iam 16 years old and this week I had a Septoplasty. As expected, my nose didn't have a visible change. So now, I am thinking of having a Rhinoplasty because I have a crooked nose and it is also very long and I really dislike it.

Answer: Rhinoplasty adter Septoplasty To undergo a rhinoplasty operation after a previous deviated septum repair is common and safe as long as the surgeon preserves the cartilage framework of the nose. The strength of the remaining cartilage should be assessed to make sure the proposed changes are possible. If the structure is too weak, cartilage grafts may be needed to help maintain the proper position of the bridge and other areas. make sure your surgeon is familiar with these concepts and has a carefully though out plan.

Answer: Rhinoplasty after septoplasty can be performed but proceed with caution Most functional septal procedures will not have a cosmetic outcome. The purpose is generally to relieve internal obstruction. A cosmetic rhinoplasty can be performed after a septoplasty but some precautions must be taken to avoid damaging the delicate remaining structures of the nose. It is important that you provide the second surgeon with the details of the original procedure to minimize these risks.
