If prob breathing : Yes if it's functional and causing problems breathing then i would go to a plastic surgeon or ENT to be evaluated. Just having a deviated septum without any functional problems does not need to be fixed necessarily, but see a doctor.

Deviated septum: A deviated septum is not an uncommon problem. It can lead to nasal obstruction, snoring and even sinus issues. You only need surgery if you are having symptoms. If there are symptoms like nasal obstruction, snoring or recurrent sinusitis, have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
