Can a Septum Deviation Correct Itself Overtime?

June 28, 2012
Asked By:Twitch

I'm a 16 year old male with a crooked nose. Recently i visited a doctor regarding my crooked nose. The doctor told me that i have a septum deviation and that i don't require any unneccesary surgery about it as it will correct itself as i grow up due to my young age. So is it true what the doctor said, that my crooked nose will correct itself?
