expose the cartilage from there. Ideally, we prepare underneath the cartilage skin, as no bleeding can occur here and the membrane can be easily separated. Existing scars can make the procedure more difficult.  <\/p><h3>Extent of the correction<\/h3><p>The area to be exposed depends on how large the malformation is. After fractures of the septum, sharp edges may need to be repaired or some small corners may protrude into the nasal cavity and thus disrupt the circulation of the air we breathe. <\/p><h3>Rare: external straightening of the septum<\/h3><p>In rare cases, it may also be necessary to expose the entire nasal septum during the operation and remove it completely. In this case, our plastic surgeons perform the correction of the septum externally and then reinsert it. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
