Can I Later Have Rhinoplasty After Surgery for Deviated Septum?

CBinSanDiego
I have had severe, recurring sinus infections over the last 2 years and I am currently scheduled for sinus surgery in about 2 weeks. This surgery will include correction of a deviated septum caused by a broken nose as a child (I have almost zero airflow in my left nostril). In addition, the doc will remove some polyps and reduce turbinates. My question; I have a slightly crooked nose and am wondering if this surgery will later prohibit me from having rhinoplasty? Thanks!
