Septoplasty: The only way you can know if the recent trauma affected the results of your surgery is by physical examination. Consult with your surgeon.

A member asked:

How, exactly, does a septoplasty fix a deviated septum? Does the surgeon take off some cartilate from the side with the smaller nostril? Actually cut off and move the whole septum? I'm confused and don't really understand the explanations i've read.
