Will septoplasty straighten nose or will it make it harder to straighten my nose later in life when I can afford it?

Asked By:um12345 in East Texas, PA

I'm considering a septo/turb reduction (saw ent last week), but I've read that it's not good to get septo if you ever plan on getting a rhino. I wouldn't want to change much, but it's crooked and I'm not sure if this is caused by the deviated septum or if having that surgery would improve it. I can't breathe through my nose unless I'm at rest and I get a lot of sinus infections. Main concern is my breathing issue, but I don't want to rule out the option of straightening later.
