Princess Letizia, wife to Prince Felipe of Asturias, has undergone a nose job to fix a “deviated septum.” Mmm hmm:

The septorhinoplasty — an operation to straighten the cartilage and bone that separates the nose into two sides — was carried out by palace medical staff to fix a deviated septum, it said.

Patients with a deviated septum — the wall between the left and right sides of the nose — find that one side of their nose is wider than normal and one is narrower.

The consequences of a deviated septum can range from a mild impact on breathing to a complete lack of function of one or both nostrils.

Even if there is little or no breathing disturbances, a deviated septum can make the exterior bridge of the nose look crooked.

It’s true! Deviated septums can fuck up your breathing something awful. Of course, we have a deviated septum and manage to breath out of our crooked-ass nose just fine, thanks. But, nonetheless, we wish a speedy recovery and easy breathing to Letizia. How fortunate for her that her nose, truly a medical marvel, contained a deviated septum located entirely on a bump on the bridge of her nose. Amazing.
