Septal Perforation Repair Options/Risks?

Jas605
I am 6 mos PO rhino revision w/ fascia/mucosa graft perf repair. Aesthetically, the revision is excellent. However, the graft failed. My perf is about 5mm, and a turbinate flap repair is indicated. Perf has minimal symptoms, some dryness, whistling, crusting and bleeding- definitely manageable. My biggest concern is undergoing a 3rd nasal procedure. I do NOT want to compromise the cosmetic results and am worried about the long term effects if I leave the perf untreated. What are my options ??
