What Does Shaving Down the Sides of the Nose Mean?

embielle123
I'm getting a septoplasty and my turbines or something like that cautarized. What does my doctor mean when he also says he's going to "shave down the sides of my upper nose cartilage?" Is that going to think it out up there or get rid of the bump or what?
