Will septoplasty correct the tip of my nose? (photo)

Septoplasty will not change the appearance of the nasal tip. If a septorhinoplasty is performed (septoplasty in combination with rhinoplasty), then the tip can be addressed during the cosmetic portion of the surgery. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Septoplasty performed alone will not have any effect on the appearance of your tip.  A rhinoplasty would have to be performed in combination to "restore" your tip to its initial state.  

A septoplasty is performed for medical necessity when cartilage and bone is blocking air flow through the back of the nose. A cosmetic tip plasty would adjust tip cartilages and have nothing to do with the deviated septum. A septoplasty and a tip platy or 2 completely separate operations, but both can be performed at the same time under one anesthetic with one recovery period. For more information about both procedures, please see the link below to our rhinoplasty photo Gallery

If you are concerned about your tip, septal surgery usually does not impact the tip shape. It can impact tip elevation if part of the caudal septum is removed or it is suspended with sutures to the septum.
