Possible to make nose appear smaller and straightened?

One of the most common reasons that patients seek rhinoplasty consultations is to learn about dorsal hump reduction. A dorsal hump is comprised of bone and cartilage.

You have a nasal bridge hump that is likely made up of bone and cartilage. These can be taken down incrementally so that it can look the way you want from the side.

It is possible to make the nose appear smaller and straightened from being crooked. It is also possible to alter the profile look without substantially changing the look from the front. Typically once the profile hump has been removed, there is a narrowing effect that occurs in the nasal bones.

Amin, I agree that you are a good candidate for a standard rhinoplasty.  You will probably need osteotomies (small breaks in the nasal bones) to complete the hump removal.  A small radix graft (in the depression where your nose meets your forehead) may also be required to improve your profile... more

Hi Amin, Yes it is possible to change your nasal profile while keeping your frontal appearance relatively the same.
