Only in rhinoplasty: Septoplasty is the reshaping of the cartilage and bony divider which is in the midline of the nose. Rhinoplasty sometimes requires reshaping of the nose and may include osteotomies (breaking the nasal bones to reposition)

No: Only if you have a rhinoplasty to change the outward shape of your nose may the doctor need to cut the bones.

Septoplasty: There is a bony portion to the septum that may be partially removed. Discuss this issue with your surgeon.
