I have a hump on my nose, but it looks small and pretty from the front. If I remove it, (like the top of a pyramid) won't it be wider? AND NO I honestly cant handle ostenemies or whatever they're called :(

Answer: Hump removal and nasal width? when your hump is removed osteotomies will be done to prevent the nose from being wide. I think your possible fear of osteotomies is unjustified as this does not increase any discomfort. The majority of my patients take no pain medicine or One pain pill after rhinoplasty!

Answer: Rhinoplasty hump Great question! Short answer is yes it will make the nose wider. The dorsum of the nose is like the tip of a triangle - if you take off the hump, the tip of the "triangle" will be wider and flatter. This is why osteotomies are performed in order to bring the base of the triangle closer causing the tip to be also narrow. However with that said, if you only have very tiny hump, it could be removed without performing osteotomies and the results maybe okay - but you need to have an in-person consultation so that a good physical examination can be performed and options reviewed. Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai
