Rhinoplasty/ Nose Anatomy
The nose is the most prominent projection of the face. When looking at someone, eyes are readily attracted to it given its central location. The fact that the shape of the nose is always analyzed and pondered leads many to get rhinoplasty surgery. It is always one of the top surgeries performed in the United States, and stays on the tips of our tongues as celebrities often undergo this procedure to enhance their appearance. Some well-known celebrities that have undergone this procedure include Ashlee Simpson, Zac Efron, Heidi Montag, Jennifer Grey, Ashley Tisdale, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, and Marilyn Monroe.
The nose is made of the outer covering (skin), a support system (cartilage and bone), and lining (mucosa). Cartilage is the softer floppy structure that permits movement and control of the opening of the nostrils (the nose has both upper lateral and lower lateral cartilages). Nasal bones support the bridge of the nose between the eyes. The septum is the wall between the two nostrils that is a sandwich of cartilage and bone surrounded by mucosa. It functions like a tent pole holding up the lower nose. Deeper in the nose opposite the septum, turbinates project into the air flow to humidify the air. The turbinates enlarge and shrink depending on the needs for moisture. Under the turbinates are the holes into the sinuses. Dry external air is moisturized so as not to dry out the airway and lungs as it is inhaled through the nose.
