Does a Septoplasty fix a blocked nostril?

Asked By:prombom17 in Mass City, MI

I have this persistent blocked right nostril that is really annoying. I can somewhat breathe through it but at the back I can feel it is blocked by cartilage. I just want to be able to breathe freely through both. My mom says no don't get surgery, lots of people live with blocked nostrils and septoplasty is extremely dangerous/unpleasant. But this blockage is really annoying when I do sports/exercise. is septoplasty a hard operation? does it have a high success rate, honestly?
