The importance of the nasal septum in the deviated nose
Jonathan M Sykes et al. Facial Plast Surg. 2011 Oct.
Abstract
The nasal septum plays an important role in both the appearance and function of the nose. Deviation of the nose is common and correction requires a focused, anatomically based treatment. Reconstruction and support of the septum is a necessary component to a straight nose. The "four R's" of nasal septal repair--resection, reposition, reconstruction, and replacement--can be used to straighten the septum and maximize nasal appearance and function.
