Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Can a subtle rhinoplasty correct wide nose bump?

Would I be a good candidate for a subtle rhinoplasty procedure? The bridge of my nose has bump that's kinda wide so it makes my whole lose look really wide (left photo). My nose looked normal until I was about 16 years old a few years ago.

I was wondering if there was someway to fix this without doing something really drastic. I'm kinda afraid of open rhinoplasty to be honest. I live in Pennsylvania. Thanks for your help.

Hi Linux,

I do not think that the "subtle" rhinoplasty is for you.   Your results should look natural and fit your face.

If you decide that you nose bothers you enough, then you should undergo a rhinoplasty to take down your dorsal hump, create a nice natural dorsal line, and have the rest of your nose shaped in proportion.

You need not fear an open approach rhinoplasty.  Do your homework and choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully after consulting and interviewing surgeons until you are comfortable and can trust your face to the surgeon.

Good luck and be well.

Dr. P
