Can a subtle rhinoplasty correct wide nose bump?

Rhinoplasty can have either a dramatic effect or a subtle effect on the appearance of the nose depending on what techniques are used and depending on the patient's preference. It is possible to remove a hump and narrow a wide bridge without having to change other features of the nose. The best rhinoplasty is... more

I believe you are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think that you are like the majority of my patients in that they would like their noses to not be the focal point of their facial features. I think that lowering the hump would only partially address your concerns. You would probably appreciate... more

Hello, It is possible to perform a hump removal with a closed rhinoplasty procedure. However, if it were necessary to do tip work, I prefer to perform an open procedure as it allows me to obtain better results. Osteotomies (fracturing of the nasal bones) may be performed through a closed rhinoplasty procedure... more

You do not appear to be a candidate for a subtle rhinoplasty based on your pictures.  I would suggest scheduling a consultation for a standard open rhinoplasty.

All these need to be addressed during your rhinoplasty procedure.  Will it be subtle or not I dont know because... more

Nothing has to be drastic. A good rhinoplasty can look very natural.  Taking down a bump and narrowing the nose is possible.  The lower 1/3 also looks a bit wide and that can be treated as well.

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... more

You appear to have significant issues with your nose, including a vey prominent dorsal hump, as well as a broad nasal base/ tip. A 'subtle' rhinoplasty would do very little to your nose, because you have significant issues. I'm not sure what would constitute a 'subtle' rhinoplasty, but I think that in your... more
