My perforated septum is on the larger size, about the size of a penny. Is it technically safe to try to straighten out and take a hump out of our nose when there is a hole in part of the supporting structure?

Thank you for providing images along with your question. A combination of procedures can help you achieve softer, more feminine features. A rhinoplasty can help you achieve a smaller and narrower nose, while dermal fillers can create fuller, plumper cheeks, as well as a more augmented chin....
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.
