It is what you leave behind that matters in Rhinoplasty

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD answers: Shaving off 8mm to 1cm from bone possible in Rhinoplasty?

I feel that my nose is too fat for my face and doesn't look right. It seems to extend too far off my face and I was wondering whether it would be possible to shave 8mm to 1cm off it in all areas (i.e from bridge to tip) to bring it closer to my face during the Rhinoplasty surgery. The nose bridge basically seems to be too high. Thanks in advance.

It is what you leave behind that matters. The dorsal reduction involve reducing the bone and cartilage of the nose. The tip is a separate anatomical unit and its redduction is done by a series of well calculated sutures,excisions and grafts. A consultation with a certified plastic surgeon will be of great help.
