Can I Get Only Nose Rasping Done Instead of Full Rhinoplasty? (photo)

I agree with the other surgeons weighing in on your concerns.  It is never just as easy as taking down a small hump because of the the other changes that will occur. As mentioned your nose changes vertical height with hump resection and will change from the classic and aesthetically pleasing pyramid shape to one that is trapezoidal in nature if ostetomies (nose-breaking) are not performed.  An in-person consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist will help you decide what is the best course of treatment.  Good luck to you.

Depending on the individual circumstances of the patient, osteotomies (fracturing of the nasal bones) can be necessary. Fracturing the nasal bones, or performing "osteotomies" is a technique we use for narrowing the nasal bones and/or closing an "open roof deformity." In general, when we take off a nasal hump, the bone can have a gap. Nasal bones are fractured to close the open roof that can occur after you take the hump down, and close the "ledge." We need to fracture the nasal bones in, performing lateral and medial osteotomies. Performing osteotomies narrows the upper middle part of the nose. The medial osteotomies finish narrowing the bone. I would recommend a consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. They will be able to examine your nose in person and provide you with advice. Cost can vary depending on the surgeon, the complexity of the surgery, and your location. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Looking at the photos provided, you will probably require osteotomies (breaking the nasal bones) in conjunction with reduction of your bridge. If you don't break the bones after rasping the bump down, your nose will likely look too wide as seen from the frontal view.
