Nose Surgery - Ask a Surgeon

Yes, a significantly deviated septum often causes some disturbance in airflow and thus can contribute to or be the main source of a hypernasal voice quality. There are other potential sources of airflow disturbances such as narrow or collapsed nostril support, enlarged turbinates, etc. If the septal deviation is in part or fully the cause of airway pathology then a septoplasty is usually the cure.

Giving you answers to address your specific concerns would be challenging and probably not appropriate without reviewing your preoperative photographs, reviewing the details of your operation and postoperative course, and examining you in person. That being considered, based on the information that you have relayed above, I believe that it is unlikely that your nasal shape will return to the form that you witnessed immediately after surgery and you probably will need a secondary procedure to correct any deformity caused by the infection and subsequent scar tissue. I am not entirely sure what the thought process is behind the Morpheus8 treatments. For now, the best course is massage, possible steroid injections, and time. After appropriate healing time for the inflammation to settle down, a follow up evaluation and surgical correction is likely.

Will it drop.....? That all depends on what was done inside and how much swelling you still have. Sometimes it looks high due to swelling, sometimes it is due to what surgery was performed. Hopefully your surgeon is correct.
