Hi I have a deviated septum with spur growth blocking my left nostril which makes it difficult to breathe.I am considering septoplasty/rhinoplasty . Although I am very scared of developing a perforated septum as a consequence to this procedure making the original condition worse. Is it common or it completely depends on the surgeon? Is open rhinoplasty better than closed for avoiding septum perforation. What should the surgeon look out for to prevent it from happening in the first place. Thanks
