Question

I have a deviated septum which causes me breathing problems, frequent sinus infections and severe headaches. The NHS has recommended surgery on my nose. I thought at the same time I could improve and straighten the appearance of my nose and go private.

Would you be able to help and do you have plenty of experience in correcting deviated septums etc?

Answer

From what you're describing, there is also a group of problems related to sinuses. This can be connected with the problems of septal deviation or separate.

Whilst I do have experience with correction of deviated septum, the problems of management for the sinus disease is part of the speciality of ENT.

In situations like the one you are describing, I typically work together with an ENT colleague to correct both the nasal shape and airway as well as sinus problems.
