Septorhinoplasty. Form versus function.
Septorhinoplasty is the most difficult and complicated procedure in facial plastic surgery. Because of the complex interdependency of the anatomical parts, alteration of one may have an impact on another. Three-dimensional relationships are important, as is the maintenance of a proper framework for the internal and external nose. Form and function are completely interwoven in septorhinoplasty.
