Among the five sensory organs namely eyes, ears, mouth, Nose and skin, the nose plays one vital role. It is an external visible organ responsible for breathing and in fact breathing necessary for the livelihood of all human beings, birds and animals. The air consisting of oxygen getting inside the nose enters into the lungs for purification and pumping into the cells and blood vessels which are functioning in the body.
Rhinoplasty is one form surgery done on the nose. In fact it can change many things about the nose, including the nose size, width of the nose, the size and position of the nostrils and nose profile (by downsizing visible humps, bumps or depressions on the bridge). In fact it is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose and it is performed to correct a structural deformity such as bump or hook so that the appearance can be improved in a still better manner by making subtle changes to nose size and shape, or to correct a functional problem (such as difficulty in breathing due to a deviated septum)
The septum is the wall between the two nostrils. Composed of cartilage and bone, it in fact divides the naval cavity in to two halves. The ideal nasal septum is found to be straight. It means separation of the left and right sides of the nose into passageways having equal size.
However, more than 80 percent of the people throughout the world do not have such ideal shaped nasal system and certain deviations in the nasal system are always bound to happen. A deviated septum occurs when the septum is shifted away from the midline. In severe cases, a deviated septum definitely causes difficulty breathing through the nose.
