A common question I get asked is whether the nose appearance will change after this surgery. The answer is no (if correctly done). In fact, if the nasal appearance DID change afterwards, you would also have undergone rhinoplasty nose job... or too much was unintentionally removed.
The explanation for why the nasal appearance does not (should not) change after septoplasty is actually quite simple. The analogy would be a house where the appearance on the outside would not change even though you may knock down a wall between two rooms inside the home.
SO... Here is a side view of the septum. The blue arrow is pointing to the nostril opening and the red arrow is pointing to the lip.
As you can see, the outside appearance of the nose remains unchanged as the rim of the nose is kept intact as shown by the red arrows here:

A septoplasty changed the appearance of my nose, which I did not want to happen. Pretty pissed about it to be honest. I was told it would not change my nose, and it did. Not significantly, of course. But I can tell there's a difference. It's like the tip of my nose used to angle ever so slightly to the left, starting about 3/4 of the way down and through the tip. It looked good with my face. It just looks different now. Not as good. I wouldn't have gone through with the surgery if the doctor had been honest and had told me there was a chance it might affect my nose appearance. Especially since it didn't correct my chronic sinusitis. So I got nothing good out of it, and I became slightly less attractive. That's literally all it did for me.
