Could a Rhinoplasty Reduce the Width of my Nose? My nose seems too wide for my face. There is also a lack of definition at the bottom of my nose where it seems to round off. I have slightly apparent bone on the bridge of my nose coming down the left side. This is not really an issue as from the side there are no bumps. I want to be realistic about a potential rhinoplasty so I know what exactly to look for when I start researching surgeons. Thanks! (Red splotch is a broken blood vessel, a whole other issue)

A: RHINOPLASTY

Thanks for the photos. Overall you have nice features to your nose. Some fine tuning can be performed to improve the the tip appearance. I would schedule an appointment with a surgeon that offers computer imaging. This will help you decide whether you feel the surgery would be beneficial enough.

Closed Rhinoplasty to Remove Hump Possible? Hello, I am looking into having rhino done. My main concern is having the hump removed. I don't want to change too much. The hump is what bothers me the most. What would you recommend would be the best thing to do to it and do you think it's very possible to have a closed rhino in my case?

A: CLOSED RHINOPLASTY

You should be able to achieve an excellent result with a closed Rhinoplasty. You will also need to break the nose after reducing the hump otherwise your nose will appear too wide and flat. Find an experienced Rhinoplasty surgeon. The results will be dramatic!! Good luck,

What is the Average Time for a Primary Rhino? I had a consult for a primary rhino/septo, and the doctor told me it will take about 6-7 hours for the operation. Wanted to know if that is too long for a primary rhino?

A: LENGTH OF TIME TO COMPLETE RHINOPLASTY

6-7 hours to complete a Rhinoplasty is unusually long. How long a Rhinoplasty will take is dependent upon the complexity and experience of the surgeon. A closed procedure averages around 90 minutes and open approach around 120-150 minutes. I would get a second opinion.
