      Abstract

      • 1.
        1. The plastic surgeon must evaluate and correct physiologic defects within the nose.
      • 2.
        2. The septum, the turbinates, the cartilages of the nose and the nasal lining must be considered as a physiologic entity.
      • 3.
        3. Cartilage grafts, bone grafts, mucous membrane or split skin grafts may be utilized when required.
