Is it safe to have a rhinoplasty when you have a perforated septum?

heydoctors Feb 11, 2022

We always advise our patients that the base view of the nose is least important, and in general, subtle changes may be seen at the nasal base from 6 months to 1 year postop. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Revision surgery can be tricky and it is best to take a very focused approach, if possible. In your case, it may be possible to straighten the columella through an internal approach without disturbing the rest of your nose.

For the best result you need a full rhinoplasty. It's not just the tip. Your bridge needs to be lowered and the tip raised. You would also need the bones broken. Don't worry breaking the bones is not a big deal even though I know it sounds scary
