Does it look flatter? Wider? Is there less definition around the nose bridge? I have a straight, bulbous nose and because of this my nose often looks really swollen and sticks out. Will shaving down the nose bridge to create a slope make my nose look softer and more subtle from the front as well?
Answer: Dorsal reduction Dorsal hump reductions are usually accompanied by osteotomies to break the nasal bones at their base and bring them together at the bridge. This is done to avoid a wide appearing dorsum, avoid an inverted V deformity, and an open roof deformity.

Answer: The nose becomes wider after hump removal. It is for this reason that we perform osteotomies in everybody who has a profile bump removed. The purpose of the osteotomies is to narrow the upper and middle thirds of the nose. I hope this answers your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Ultrasonic rhinoplasty for bridge definition Thank you for your question. In general, it is more straightforward to produce a narrower appearance of the nasal bridge than to produce a narrower appearance of the nasal tip. A reduction in projection of the bridge will require a degree of repositioning or thinning of the nasal bones, or a combination of the two, in order to create a narrower appearance, or at least to maintain the definition of the bridge from the front view. Ultrasonic instruments assist significantly with this type of changes and have demonstrated their value in a variety of ethnicities and techniques.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. The frontal view can also be improved with rhinoplasty without making it flat. This can be accomplished with a number of maneuvers including controlled osteotomies. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: How does shaving the nose bridge to create a curve Affect the appearance of the nose from the front? A full set of facial photograph from all angles before surgery is going to be required to make a determination about what you're gonna look like after surgery. Digital computer imaging of your nose up upon your facial features would also be helpful to understand what can be accomplished in a three-dimensional fashion. For many examples of rhinoplasty results from all angles, please see the link below
