What can i do about a hole in nose/septum from previous cocaine use?

Possible repair: Septal perforations less than 1 cm can be repaired if the surrounding tissues are healthy and Cocaine use has been stopped. Flaps of tissue can be moved around to close the hole. Larger holes may need to be treated with septal plugs to prevent whistling or with conservative topical treatment to control crusting.

Perforated septum: the options for treating a perforated septum are wearing a septal button to block the hole or to undergo surgical repair. Have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist,
