If your child has a deviated septum, the doctor may wait until your child's nose has finished growing before doing surgery. In most cases, this is not until age 15 or 16. Boys usually need to wait a little longer than girls because they finish growing a little later.
Recovery from deviated septum surgery depends on how much work was done. You can usually go home three or four hours after surgery. Your nose may be packed with material to keep the septum in place while it heals and prevent excess bleeding.If you only had septoplasty, you can expect very little bruising or swelling. The surgery to repair the deviated septum may be covered but cosmetic procedures, such as rhinoplasty, will not. 2  Ask them to give you a âpre-determinationâ or âpre-certificationâ It is better to have this debate with them before you have surgery.
