“This study assessed disease-specific quality-of-life outcomes among pediatric patients undergoing septoplasty or functional septorhinoplasty. The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score was obtained pre- and post-operatively. Additional analyses determined whether demographics, nasal trauma, prior nasal…”

Septum, valve and airway
Every rhinoplasty is a breathing operation whether it intends to be or not: the septum holds the nose up as well as dividing it, and the narrowest part of the whole airway is the internal valve the surgeon is standing over.
Outcomes, satisfaction and psychology
Rhinoplasty is measured with ten different questionnaires, none of which covers both the way the nose looks and the way it breathes, and the best-developed one has no airway questions at all.
Adolescent and aging nose
The same operation is a different problem at twelve and at seventy: in a child the fear is stunting a nose that has not finished growing, and in an older patient the nose has kept changing, dropping at the tip, thinning at the skin and weakening at the cartilage, until it blocks the airway.
