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.
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.
