I always wondered how much can lateral osteotomies push the nasal bones inwards? Would it only produce a subtle difference or a very noticeable difference ?
Answer: NasalBones sometimes the bones can only be narrowed slightly. However, if s large hump is removed from the nose or if your nose is wide to begin with the bones will be narrowed more.

Answer: Osteotomies Dear Rd166,Thank you for your question. The degree of osteotomies is really dependent on the anatomy of the nose. Patients with a wider nose, have more room for improvement and therefore a more noticeable difference will be made than a patient with a more narrow nose. If you are looking for a surgeon, I recommend looking at many before and after photos until you find a surgeon you are comfortable with. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Osteotomies can be performed to narrow the mid-nasal vault. The amount of narrowing is truly dependent on your individual anatomy and how much narrowing you require. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: How much can nasal bones be narrowed by osteotomies? There are many variables to consider when performing osteotomies such as the thickness of the nasal bones, and whether not they have been fractured and displaced in the past. As a general rule, osteotomies narrow between 2 to 4 mm on each side. For more information about osteotomies, please see the video and the link below
