Septoplasty: Q&A  Ask a Question  Septoplasty Side Effects -
Dorsal Augmentation, Turbinate Reduction  I have posted a few
questions on this site regarding septoplasty and dorsal

reduction. I was wondering, what are some of the side effects
from this type of surgery? Will I develop unwanted lumps on the
bridge of my nose as a result of scar tissue, and if so, what

small amount of corticosterioids for my lupus. Will that affect
the healing process? I have consent of my rhematologist and PCP.
