I like my nose, but I'm not satisfied with how it looks from the side. I have ethmoid sinus issues, large turbinates, and a deviated septum. I’ve never had rhinoplasty and want to understand why my nose appears swollen. It’s not painful to touch, and when I do, I can feel the bone underneath. Do I have wide nasal bones? I just want the swelling to go away. Are there any non-surgical options that could help? I like the shape of my nose.
Answer: You may simply have wide nasal bones. If the area that you're marked is firm to the touch, I suspect you are palpating your own nasal bones. The only way to reduce this appearance is by performing osteotomies during rhinoplasty surgery. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Non surgical option for nose Non- surgical rhinoplasty (NSR) is a great option to improve your profile without surgery. It will not fix breathing issues or a deviated septum, but can provide a much pleasing appearance. And should you want that made permanent, and to correct your nasal functionality, then a surgical rhinoplasty is an easy transition. All the best from Boston!

Answer: Ethmoid, sinus issues, large turbinates in a deviated septum Endoscopic sinus surgery is performed to address ethmoid sinus issues, and turbinate reduction is performed to reduce the size of the turbinates, and a septoplasty is performed when there is a deviated septum, present blocking airflow. This is all done internally in the back of the nose for functional purposes and billed to medical insurance. If you're interested in a cosmetic rhinoplasty, then you can narrow your wide nasal bones, and place spreader graphs underneath the inverted upper lateral cartilage is in the mid vault since your upper lateral cartilages and your nasal bones are not in continuity with each other and you have an inverted V deformity. Both cosmetic and functional breathing surgery can be done simultaneously under one anesthesia with one recovery.
