Is it safe for a young teen to have septoplasty?
ideally one has to wait till 16 years for female and 18 years
for male but if the deviation is very severe you can go for
extracorporal septoplasty, preferred by some after 6 years of age.
such patients usually has to be weight against the possible side
effects. septoplasty at young age were believed to affect the mid
facial growth.
