359:, a crooked nose will block one or both sides of the nose, affecting the quality of life. However, a deviated septum is very common and does not always create respiratory issues. Respiratory issues usually occur in more severe cases, requiring surgery to repair. Surgery is also permitted to individuals that seek cosmetic changes due to moderate cases of a deviated septum. Surgery may require a surgeon to cut and remove parts of the septal nasal cartilages, replacing them later in a reconstructed format. This will allow the individual to receive more airflow through the nostrils when the surgery fully heals after 3 to 6 months. However, there are some risks correlated with this surgical procedure. These risks include a change in the shape of the nose, excessive bleeding, vacant space in the septum, trouble smelling, blood clots that need to be removed, and numbness by the facial region. Smoking can also cause further damage during the healing process of septoplastic surgery.
243:. The superior portion of the septal nasal cartilage attaches to the nasal bones, while the inferior portion attaches to the alar cartilages via fibrous tissues. The septal nasal cartilage separates both right and left nasal cavities, which allows air to pass through them. Providing two cavities generates turbulence within the tight spaces, allowing air to flow quicker bidirectionally. The septal nasal cartilage is also the main structure that provides the orientation of the nose, being the midline structure of the organ. With an offset septal nasal cartilage, the nose will appear crooked to the viewer. A crooked nose can block airflow coming from the nares to the lungs or vice versa. This can lead to respiratory issues due to low oxygen but high carbon dioxide counts within the body. A surgical procedure to correct this issue is called

the septal nasal and lateral nasal cartilages from one another. Grafts need to be used permanently due to the complications of removing such a device. The upper lateral cartilage repositioning technique deploys a temporary stint that repositions the lateral nasal cartilage, lets it heal/be stationary due to scar tissue formation, then is removed. This open rhinoplastic procedure allows the nose to heal to an optimal position without the permanent use of man-made hardware. This procedure is just one way to resolve issues involving lateral nasal cartilage deformities. Other procedures are being produced and improved upon in order to generate the simplest and most safe surgical procedure.

procedures that reshape the greater alar cartilages use grafts or cartilage re-sectioning. The SAC procedure is completed within two to three minutes. In that timeframe, the tip of the nose is cut open, the greater alar cartilage is manipulated to preserve the scroll area, providing strength and structure, then the incision is sutured back up. This simple technique creates tip definition while maintaining airway function. While there are other procedures to strengthen the greater alar cartilage, the SAC procedure is gaining momentum into common rhinoplastic operations.

This associated organ plays an important role in the sense of smell by being lined with similar epithelium to that of the olfactory region of the nose. The vomeronasal cartilage is another small component of the nose that provides strength and structure.

Both crus come together to form an oval tip at each nostril. Both sides of the major alar cartilages merge together to form a notch at the tip, which is referred to as the apex of the nose.
