I had spreader grafts placed when I had a bump removed from the bridge of my nose. My Dr. did not tell me he would be doing this. Now my nose is much wider than it used to be. Is it possible to remove the spreader grafts? Its been 8 months since my surgery and although my Dr. said that my nose would narrow it does not seem to be happening. Help any advise?

Yes, shaving the hump may be the only intervention performed in a subtle rhinoplasty procedure. For larger humps, an open roof deformity may develop and lateral osteotomies may be necessary.
If you can bring a loved one great, if not, many medical offices such as mine provide nurse's aides to stay overnight with you. An extra helping hand and a little pampering really make a nice difference when you are recovering. And you deserve a little help! Good luck!
