title: Septoplasty can Change the Shape of the Nose.
abstract: ENT surgeons are familiar with anatomy as well as physiology to improve the form and function of the nose. Conventional septoplasty is done to improve the function of the nose. The nasal septum contributes to the shape of the nose in many ways like it's height, length and position in the midline. And if septoplasty is extended to vary its' dimensions it can grossly contribute to the improvement of the shape of the nose and would truly be called septo-rhinoplasty. This fact that septal surgery alone can improve the shape of the nose shall encourage young ENT surgeons to practice these techniques and offer the resulting cosmetic advantages to their patients.
