ABSTRACT
This article discusses the intimate relationship that the form of the nasal septum and the esthetics of the nose have with one another and that alterations of either can significantly affect the other. Surgeons from several specialties perform surgical alterations of the external and internal nose; however, many of the advancements have been kept within the literature of their respective fields. It would be wise for rhinoplasty surgeons to have solid understanding of the form and function of the nose so that they may bridge the gaps of their specialty and provide the best possible care for their patients.
