I heard that some patients have trouble breathing after nostrils are reduced! How can this happen? Can you request for no nostril reduction, if the hump is being shaved?

Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate for nostril reduction and hump removal A full set of pictures are required to make any determination about what may be needed with the rhinoplasty procedure. When patient's have wide nostrils, an alar plasty can be performed to narrow them. There are a variety of techniques available to accomplish this. A full examination of the external and internal portion of the nose is required to make sure there is no issues with nasal obstruction prior to the surgery. The incisions can be placed on the inside of the nose or at the alar junction. The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage and must be shaved down in order to remove it. Once the hump has been shaved down osteotomies are then required to close the open roof created from the hump removal. For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below
