Dont do it, it's not worth the risk when you're not actually sick and are doing it just for looks.
I had it and ended up with meningitis... now that made me ill!!!!

I as well as several people I know have had their deviated septum kixed via surgery and had no problems. Granted - there are risks to any surgery. You would need to see an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat) dr. for the surgery.
Wishing you all the best!

How did you get meningitis? Did the ENT guy botch the surgery or something?!
