Can a Septum Deviation Correct Itself Overtime?

Once you have a deviated septum, without surgery or a lucky blow to the nose, it will not get better. In fact the 2 options are either remain the same or continue to twist and get slowly worse. Just becausae you have a deviation doesn't mean you need surgery. In fact doctors don't even suggest surgery to prevent worsening. If it becomes symptomatic, then is the time to repair it.

A crooked nasal septum or crooked nose will NOT correct itself over time. Unfortunately, surgery is required to straighten the septum or the nose itself as these issues don't correct themselves over time. I would recommend seeking a second opinion from a qualified nasal surgeon if these issues concern you. I hope this is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Deviated septum and crocked nose will not staighten with time. You nose is fully developed by age 16.

It is very unlikely that your deviated septum will change with time. We advise young patients to wait until they are physically mature before having this type of surgery; for males this is age 16-18.
