Is rhinoplasty right for you
Rhinoplasty is an individual choice made to change the nose when the bump on the nose becomes bothersome. Taking the bump off the nose will make the nose look smaller, less projected and noticeable. It is important not to thin the nasal bones even further since the nasal bridge is already quite thin. Visible swelling lasts approximately 2 weeks after the surgery. However, full healing from rhinoplasty is 1 year.

Rhinoplasty can improve the profile and not change the front view
Kitty,
What you are describing is a very common desire among rhinoplasty patients: keep the front view the same and reduce the bump on the side. That can be achieved, though depending on the height of the bump and the narrowness of your bridge, there may be some widening, just a bit, of your nasal bridge from the front. That being said, most are very pleased and it is a worthwhile consequence of removing the bump.

From what you describe, it sounds like your expectations are realistic and quite typical. Rhinoplasty is an ideal operation for the reduction of a bony hump and correcting a beak nose appearance. This cam all be done and stil maintain the narrowness of your nose. Find a surgeon who is good at rhinoplasties and who has done a lot of them. Swelling is usually minimal and you will notice subtle changes up to a year after your operation.

Many patients feel the way you do. They like the fron view but hate the profile. In general the bump can be taken down and the nose improved. Usually the nose can maintain the same widthappearance or slightly narrower.

I am not happy with my nose?
Rhinoplasty can be customized to preserve what you like and change what you don't as long as doing so maintains an overall balanced look. Most swelling is gone after the first month, but the nose will continue to refine for up to a year.

The profile of the nose can be made straight and smaller without changing the front view.
Hi.
1) It sounds like what you don't like is the easiest to fix. This can be done with a closed (less invasive) rhinoplasty.
2) Most people look presentable (no obvious swelling) in one week, and you see most of the result in one month.

Rhinoplasty is right for you
If you are unhappy with your nose then rhinoplasty is right for you. Hump reduction is the most common change requested. Computer imaging can help show you the potential changes with rhinopasty when correcting the 'typical beak'.

The operation is generally very well tolerated, with minimal downtime...

After a profile bump is removed during Rhinoplasty Surgery, osteotomies are performed to narrow the bridge.
I read your concern: Your nose may get a bit wider on front view if your profile hump is large or if your nasal bones are resistant to infracturing during your Rhinoplasty Surgery. In the majority of cases, osteotomies work well for keeping your nose narrow on frontal view.
Consultations with computer-imaging may be helpful for you to know what to expect after Rhinoplasty Surgery. Normal social activities are typically resumed around 8-10 days after Rhinoplasty Surgery.
I hope this...

Not Happy with Nose
Over the past 35 years, I've never seen 2 noses exactly the same. When evaluating a nose we discuss the positive features and less desirable characteristics with the patient to determine exactly what will be done during that individual rhinoplasty operation. It possible to improve the profile without changing the nasal width. The ultimate goal is to achieve a natural result.
