This poses a limitation on the degree of refinement or reshaping that can be accomplished with rhinoplasty.he lower two thirds is composed of cartilage. The septum also forms an integral part of the nasal skeleton. It is a vertical wall that separates the two sides of the nose. Many people have a certain degree of deviation of this septum rendering the space in the two sides of the nose asymmetrical.

The shape of the nose is determined by the nasal bones and the nasal cartilages, including the septal cartilage (which separates the nostrils) and the upper and lower lateral cartilages. On average the nose of a male is larger than that of a female. The nose has an area of specialised cells which are responsible for smelling (part of the olfactory system). Another function of the nose is the conditioning of inhaled air, warming it and making it more humid.
