The surgeon who is likely going to do my surgery wants to rasp the bones and not do an osteotomy. He says my upper lateral cartilages are fine and not too large. Where would you “draw the line” between rasping only and doing osteotomies. Would you do osteotomies on my nose? Thank you.

Answer: Rasping or Osteotomies?? Thanks for your question and photos. Your surgeon uses his/hers assessment of your current nose and the relative harmony to the rest of your face to determine what would be best. Digital morphing can provide some visual representation of the differences. If you have concerns, seek a second opinion. Best!!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thanks for your question!I think it's best to defer to your surgeon on this one. Ya'll have surely discussed your goals and if they think that your goals can be accomplished by rasping only, then there you have it! I don't believe the patients should try to dictate how their rhinoplasty is performed. That being said, it's extremely advantageous to be educated in process so great job in that! Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb Jr.
