I have a small bump on the bridge of my nose and I was wondering if I could have it shaved down under local anesthesia? I’ve heard that your nose could appear wider from the front if you shave it down only but would that happen even though my bump is so small?

Answer: Local anesthesia to remove a bump It's definitely possible and I have done it many times. If this is the only part of the nose that bothers you it may be a good option. I would consider a consultation to go over the details of the procedure and together you can decide if this is best for you. Best wishes.

Answer: Thank you for your question. Some surgeons do perform this surgery under local with IV sedation. A number of surgeons do not want the patients moving durning surgery. If patients move, they can not be as persice. This is one of the reasons that other surgeons perform this under general anesthesia. I incorporate the FINNESSE technique, which I invented. I typically do not pack the nose. Pain and recovery are minimal when compared to traditional techniques (please see the video of the patient who had their nose done ten days earlier.) I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video.
