Would the Scar That Left on my Nasal Septum Influence the Shape of my External Nose?

Question

After septoplasty, I found out there is a big scar left on my nasal septum, it is around the my left nostril. So will the shape of my external nose change cause of the scar?

In some cases septoplasty scars may be visible at the opening of the nostrils, especially if the nostrils are somewhat retracted or flared. However, the scar itself does not change or affect the shape of the external nose. Thank you for sharing your concerns and question. Best wishes.
