Hello.
If the doctors advised you for a septoplasty that means that you a have a Nasal septum deviation, and for that you can't do nothing else than a Surgery.
But, as i see you have a problem with the Nasal Turbinates too ( specially at night), probably if you have a mild nasal deviation you can do TURBINATOPLASTY with Radiofrecuency only in local anestesia and your problem will be resolved.

wish you all the best...
