Q: What does shaving down the sides of the nose mean?
A:
"Shaving down the sides of the nose" is not a clear statement. Doing a septoplasty and turbinate reduction is for improving the nasal airway and is not a cosmetic operation. Doing procedures to change the external appearance of the nose (Rhinoplasty) is a different operation that may or may not be done at the same time as the septoplasty. It needs to be clear if you are asking for cosmetic surgery, and if so, what you want changed such as thinning or reducing the dorsum, refining the tip, making the nose smaller, etc.
Make sure you are clear on the plan before agreeing to surgery.
