Hey, I have a question. Is it possible to get surgery for a deviated septum before turning 18? I’ve already consulted two different doctors about this. One told me that since the nose keeps developing until you hit 18, there's a risk it could just deform again after the procedure—and isn't it true you usually only get one shot at nose surgery? The other doctor claimed development is definitely finished by age 16. Honestly, my breathing issues are becoming a major problem, and surgery seems like it would solve most of it. As an athlete, this is really getting in my way during training; I feel like I'm constantly struggling with oxygen intake.

Has anyone here gone through nose surgery before they turned 18? Do you know anything at all about how it works?
