Deviations and deformities of the bony nasal skeleton are amenable to osteotomies in the longitudinal, transverse and the oblique planes. These interventions undertaken either intranasal or percutaneous, translocate the osteo-cartilaginous nasal segments as a single entity. The intermediate osteotomy is usually resorted to, in three situations, namely; a very broad nose with a good nasal height, a deviated nose with a lateral wall longer than the opposite and where required to straighten an excessively convex nasal bone. A lady with quite a broad nose was subjected to bilateral osteotomies of the ‘intermediate’ type, to achieve aesthetic social acceptability.
