As you can tell from the picture, the bridge of my nose is crooked due to a deviated septum. Would septoplasty help straighten this at all or would I need rhinoplasty? I honestly can't afford rhinoplasty and septoplasty is covered by my insurance.

Answer: Dose septoplasty correct my crooked nose?
Septoplasty alone is designed to improve the function of an obstructed nose and it is usually covered by your insurance. Rhinoplasty is designed to improve the aesthetic shape of a nose. You need both of these procedures, which is known as septorhinoplasty.

Answer: Septoplasty alone is usually a functional procedure
A deviated septum can contribute to nasal obstruction and can also cause the nose to be crooked. If your goal is to have a straight nose it would be best to discuss having a rhinoplasty at the same time as the septoplasty.
