Would a Septoplasty Make the Tip of my Nose Look Straight and Make my Nostrils Look More Symmetrical?

Asked By:Molly2810 in London, GB

I believe I have a deviated septum, as my nostrils appear to be different sizes and I find it difficult to breathe through the right one. I have been given different nasal sprays by my doctor, but they don't seem to help. My question is would a septoplasty help me to breathe better as well as make the tip of my nose look straight and my nostrils more symmetrical looking?
