Deviated Septum, Should One Get it Fixed?

It's totally up to you on whether you should have your crooked septum repaired. If the blocked airflow is bothersome for you then septoplasty surgery is certainly something you could consider doing.

The surgery is normally covered by insurance, if you have insurance. Your surgeon's office should be able to give you an idea of your cost for surgery based on your specific plan.

        If the deviated septum is contributing to a breathing problem and you want to improve your breathing, fixing the septum may be indicated.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
