Will your nose collapse if you remove your septum?

Nose will not collapse after septum removal. Nasal septum removal is mainly seen in the clinic as a corrective surgery for deviated nasal septum, which causes nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, loss of smell and other related symptoms. Nasal septum surgery involves cutting through the mucous membrane of the nasal septum on the left side of the nose and removing the cartilage of the deviated septum, thus centering the septum and treating symptoms related to nasal congestion, runny nose and headache. The shape of the nose is usually supported by the lateral nasal cartilages and the maxillary frontal process, which have little to do with the nasal septum, so the shape of the nose will not collapse after the septum is removed. Plastic and cosmetic surgery departments usually also remove the nasal septum for septal lengthening surgery. By the same token, removing the nasal septum will not cause the nose to collapse, so there is no need to worry.
