Hello. Thank you for your question. It is certainly possible, and even commonplace, to address the bridge of the nose without doing any work on the tip or nostrils. One of the most common indications for rhinoplasty is for removal of a nasal hump. This can certainly be addressed without doing any work on the nasal tip or nostrils. However, the most important aspect of rhinoplasty is a thorough preoperative assessment to determine the concerns and goals of the patient, evaluate the pertinent anatomy through physical exam and photo documentation, developing a comprehensive plan to address all of the patient's concerns and achieve the optimal result, and establishing reasonable expectations. Although your concerns may primarily be with your nasal bridge, it may be necessary to address other parts of the nose to achieve balance and harmony with the remainder of the face. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience and allow them to help you determine the best plan to achieve your goals. I hope this information is helpful.
Yes, it is possible to only perform bridge work on the nose without doing any work on the nostrils. A full set of pictures are required to give any meaningful opinion. It is possible to shave down the dorsal hump and then perform osteotomies to narrow the bridge line and close the open roof created from the hump removal.
