Is it possible to replace entire nasal septum?

Heatherstacks73
I went on a 4 month cocaine binge.. my entire septum is gone. I have stopped the use of cocaine.. so far the bridge of my nose is holding up although I have a tender spot near the tip. I've been using saline solution and Neosporin daily. Is it possible to replace an entire septum? They have a lot of congestion otherwise no problems I'm just worried my nose may collapse. What type of surgery is recommended and what is the cost. I know I have to wait a year. Any other suggestions for at home care
