Abstract
The use of small, powerful magnets as body decoration is growing in popularity. Accidental adherence of these magnets to the nasal septum creates a mechanism for septal necrosis; removal of the magnets is difficult due to the strong adherent force they create across the septum. Nonferromagnetic tools greatly facilitate their removal. In this series, the author's experience with 3 adolescent patients with magnets tightly adherent to the nasal septum is described, along with a novel technique for removal of the magnets.
