Cartilage-only rhinoplasty

Sam P. Most, MD answers: Rhinoplasty without touching the bone?

Hello! I need some help. I really want to get Rhinoplasty done because my nose is extremely long and wide and just messed up. I have a question is it possible to straighten my nose without touching the bone, and there are two huge chunks of cartilage on my nose that make it wide.

So, I would like to have a procedure to take care of all of those problems. Also wondering how much will it cost approximately? Thanks!

Each rhinoplasty is unique.  In some situations, it may not be necessary to alter the nasal bones.  This would depend on your specific nasal shape, airway, and aesthetic goals.  The only way to answer this question definitely would be to examine you in person and use photographs/computer imaging to determine what surgical approaches would be used.
