Description
Summary:The functional and aesthetic role of nasal septum is indisputable. Normally, as the main supporting structure of the nose, nasal septum ensures support and stability of the structure of external nose and its position in relation to the central vertical axis of the face. Deviated septum is quite a common disorder among population. According to the literature, up to 96.5% of the population have a deviated nasal septum of a certain degree. [2, 6, 16, 22--23] Deviated septum can often lead both to difficulty in nasal breathing and to aesthetic complaints, mainly on various deviations of the arch and/or tip of the nose. In single cases, it is possible to mitigate deformation of the external nose and nasal breathing disorders after correction of deviated septum. However, in view of the interrelationship between deformations of the external nose and nasal septum, we find it unacceptable to manage the deformations separately, especially in terms of secondary rhinoplasty.
