ENT surgeon will fill a hole in septum with a plastic "button".

May 1, 2017
Asked By:Two Shoe in San Antonio, TX

Is this an established and proven method? To fit the button, some of the deviated septum needs be removed, and also turbinates will be reduced. The large hole was produced by a rhinoplasty years ago. Breathing is not affected, but severe nosebleeds (posterior, both sides) began 6 months ago, due to dry nose resulting from hole in septum.
