I do have a kind of deformity on my nose that can probably be reduced by sanding or rasping the nasal bone. It looks like a very slight hump on the bridge of the nose which causes a small bump from the side and bigger bump on one 3/4 profile (such profile from the other side doesn't have it)? So there is my question. Does sanding the nasal bone have lower or the same probability of forming callus In comparison to breaking bone? And how long does convalescence last after such procedure?
Answer: Rhinoplasty In most cases even with a small hump I find that breaking the bones is necessary. Breaking the bones is a routine part of rhinoplasty and is done in a very precise way so you shouldn’t be afraid of it if necessary

Answer: Osteotomy is typically performed after a nasal bump is removed. If somebody has a bony dorsal hump, removal of the bump will cause widening of the nose. This necessitates osteotomies to narrow the nasal appearance. When this is performed properly, bumps do not return. I hope this answers your question. Sincerely Dr. Joseph

Answer: No difference, because the two techniques are used to correct different problems. More ... "Breaking the bones" is used to narrow the bones, to bring them closer to each other. The break happens where the side of the nose meets the front of the cheek. "Rasping" is used to file down a prominence along the bridge of the nose.

Answer: Dorsal contour after rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Most patients will require both osteotomies and dorsal rasping. The ultimate contour of the dorsal will be able to remain much smoother longterm if your surgeon places either a dorsal fascial onlay graft or morselized bone dorsal onlay graft in patients with thin dorsal skin. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Dr Paweł Szychta Rasping (sanding) the nasal bone generally has a lower risk of callus formation compared to breaking the bone (osteotomy) because it involves less trauma. Recovery from rasping is typically quicker, with most people resuming normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Healing times can vary, so it's important to consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss the best approach for your specific situation.
