How to Fix Nose with Swelling in the Middle? (photo)
I am soon to be hitting 40, have a "virgin" nose & yet to have the jobs done (like wrinkle busters u see so clearly). But my main concern is the thingy in the middle of my face. It gets that big during the allergy season (which is often here, in CA). I can't even let glasses to touch the bridge of my nose - gives me motion sick-like sensation. At first I was considering just the tip done, but that thing is surely expanding everywhere. Is it possible to make it fit my face better?

Nasal harmony
The beauty of consulting with rhinoplasty docs is that they have imaging software to walk you through potential changes, and how those changes fit together to give you a balanced, natural nose. Technically there are multiple steps to narrow the tip, middle third of the nose, or nasal bones, so the surgical technique is not necessarily at question.
The bottom line is you should work with your surgeon to specifically detail the changes you would like to see, as well as discuss the degree of...

Rhinoplasty and Somnoplasty of the Inferior Nasal Turbinates

Rhinoplasty to narrow middle of nose
This is a straightforward rhinoplasty whereby both nasal bones need to be narrowed at the mid third vault of the nose through medial and lateral osteotomies. This can be done through a closed rhinoplasty approach and does not need to be done through an open approach. From the looks of the picture, it does not appear that much tip work needs to be done, if any.

Intermittant Nasal Swelling
Intermittant swelling may be caused by allergies or recurrent sinus infections. See an experienced nasal surgeon for an accurate diagnosis. Rhinoplasty surgery will improve nasal appearance and function if you have airway obstruction. Allergy evaluation and possible treatment should be considered.

Rhinoplasty, Nose surgery
If your nose swells up because of allegies, it will still swell up after a rhinoplasty. In fact, it may swell up more because of scarring. Rhinoplasty is done to balance the face and "hide" the nose in the face. It is difficult to tell on a front view whether you would gain much benefit from nasal surgery. Go see a competent plastic surgeon and see what he says.

Fix nose with swelling in the middle
Thanks for the photo. Go see an ENT to diagnose if you have a sinus issue. Than have a rhinoplasty with narrowing of the nasal bones by fracture.

Rhinoplasty for swelling of the nose in the middle.
See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who can give you a better answer after examining your nose. Allergic swelling with poor airway can be improved by surgery for your turbinates if he feels this is the problem. The cosmetic part is done at the same time so pick a surgeon that makes natural noses.
