A piece of your cartilage or bone may be used to strengthen or improve the build of your nose, or to improve breathing or help your nose look better. The surgeon may also use cartilage from the wall that divides the nostrils inside your nose (septum) Or cartilage may be taken from your ear or rib.
Implants (synthetic) may also be used to rebuild your nose if the normal structure is very damaged or weak. This is rare.
May reshape the septum or remove a part of the cartilage or bone of the septum. This is called septoplasty. This helps to improve nasal breathing. The cartilage that’s removed could also be used to make your nose and its framework look better.
