Doctor, can I ask if surgery on a deviated nasal septum makes the nose as fragile as rhinoplasty? Hope to get help from the doctor.

Answer
Hello, rhinoplasty is an intervention outside the nasal cavity, the subcutaneous part at the bridge of the nose. And deviated nasal septum surgery is intervention in the septum in the nasal cavity. The nasal septum is a fixed structure. However, it can be deviated due to congenital structural or accidental impact. The deviated septum causes complications such as stuffy nose, sinusitis, headache... will have an indication for orthopedic surgery. When the nose is stable, it will not naturally collapse, it will only hurt when there is a strong impact. Therefore, you should visit an ENT specialist at Vinmec Health System facilities so that the doctor can show you the structures and explain them for your peace of mind.
Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
