What techniques are used to slightly decrease bridge height/width of the nasal bony pyramid? Could the surgeon be over agressive and make it too narrow?
I'd also like to increase my nasolabial angle a little, would it be simple enough to just shorten the caudal part of the septum and barely overlap the lower lateral cartilages? Thanks.
Answer: Nasal bridge height reduction method Decreasing bridge height is attained by rasping and filing the nasal bridge down, however it can only be filed down approximately 2 or 3 mm before a square top or open roof deformity will result. If that results than osteotomies need to be performed to narrow the nasal bones and close the defect. It is possible to increase the nasal labial angle of the nose through a simple caudal septal margin resection of both membranous and cartilaginous septum. We do not overlap the lower lateral cartilages because that will result in a bulbous lateral tip, which is undesirable.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Rhinoplasty Without photos or an in person exam, it is hard to know what specifically you need. The appropriate amount of nasal reduction and narrowing varies from patient to patient. This is where skill, experience, and artistry come into play in rhinoplasty. Selection of the right surgeon us critical to a satisfactory outcome. I recommend going on a few consults with surgeons in your area experienced with rhinoplasty. Good luck!

Answer: Reducing the nasal bridge and rotating the tip in rhinoplasty naturally A natural, harmonious result should be the goal. The specifics of how to achieve this will depend on your anatomy, facial features, and the experience of the surgeon. Thus, it is paramount to discuss options with someone who has experience and who can help guide you through the process. Computer imaging may help.

Answer: Creating a natural nose with rhinoplasty. We pioneered the open rhinoplasty approach 35 years ago. Having said that, the skill and experience of the surgeon is what makes a natural, good rhinoplasty, not the approach. Look at the kind of noses the surgeon does, not computer imaging. Better yet see live patients the surgeon has done. That is your best chance of getting a very good nose.

Answer: You're asking for commonly performed Rhinoplasty maneouvers And this is good. Reducing the bridge is often done during rhinoplasty. The two commonest techiques are chiseling and filing. And sure too much can be taken off. Plus the bridge can be made too narrow (although that's less common a problem).
