3mm thru FME - non deviated side swelling

I’m currently 3mm fme expansion and my nasal breathing thru the day is fire but as soon as I lay down my left nostril blocks completely zero airflow. It is my non deviated septum side and I heard it happens because there’s more space so the turbinate overgrows.

I’m not getting turbinate reduction but does that mean I have to get septoplasty? Otherwise expansion is pretty useless because I’m just breathing thru my deviated side when I sleep. Ive tried nasal strips and sleeping on my right side but my turbinate is stubborn.
