Conference: 2nd Rhinoplasty Society Academic Meeting
Venue: Grand Auditorium, Gangnam St. Mary’s Hospital, Catholic University College of Medicine
Date: July 16, 2005

Summary:
At the 2nd Rhinoplasty Society Meeting, Dr. Myung Ju Lee presented a new paper on methods for correcting septal deviation, significantly contributing to the advancement of rhinoplasty. He introduced various techniques to properly address distorted septal structures and the underlying nasal framework—issues that can lead to nasal obstruction, a crooked nasal shape, asymmetrical nostrils, and a tilted nasal tip. His presentation received enthusiastic feedback from participants.

Dr. Lee highlighted the pivotal role of the nasal septum in rhinoplasty and underscored the importance of identifying and correcting any deviation before performing the external portion of the surgery to prevent postoperative deformities. He further pointed out that, in addition to causing a crooked nose, septal deviation can also result in nasal obstruction, reinforcing the need to address septal issues in conjunction with cosmetic corrections.
