surgeries to the nose (like deviated septum repair) also obliterate the VNO, but they'd be useful either
way:
1) If they don't obliterate the VNO, they'd be good controls; and
2) If they do, they'd be a
better population to choose from, as I think there would be less self-selection bias than there would be in those
who chose cosmetic surgery.
In general, it's tough to look at the effects of surgeries in people, as it is
usually unethical to do mock surgeries on the controls, as we do with animals.
