I'm comfortable with the tip of my nose, and wouldn't dare to alter a thing. However, I'd like to remove a small bump on the bridge of my nose. I don't particularly desire a slope or more narrow bridge. Just the bump! Is this possible?
Answer: Is it possible to slope the bridge of my nose, without manipulating elsewhere? It is absolutely possible and is routine. My goal is to listen to patients and then try to achieve their individual goals.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Answer: Best Subtle Rhinoplasty...Just Take the Bump Off and Leave the Rest Alone Please Hi Svetlana,It sounds like you are an excellent candidate for a subtle rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty can be and should always be customized for the individual patient's nose and their aesthetic goals. Rhinoplasty should not be a "cookie cutter" procedure where every nose is done the same and ending up identical to all the other noses in the surgeons waiting room. I have been asked to give a presentation at an upcoming multi-specialty core aesthetic surgeon conference entitled, "Rhinoplasty, Less is More." The most important aspect for prospective rhinoplasty patients is to make sure that they carefully choose their rhinoplasty surgeon based on their experience, skill, care, and natural artistic vision. Beyond that you must be 100% certain that you and your surgeon are absolutely on the same wavelength regarding your rhinoplasty goals and expectations. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: Is it possible to slope the bridge of my nose, without manipulating elsewhere? Perth, Australia Great question. The answer is essentially yes. A nasal hump can be reduced without changing other aspects of the nose - particularly the tip. What you do need to be aware of though is that a change in one area of the nose does result in secondary effects. For dorsal hump removal the resultant change is a widening of the dorsum of the nose. Similar to if you cut the top off a pyramid, the area below the peak is wider than the peak itself. Therefore with most dorsal hump reductions the width of the nose is controlled with bilateral nasal infractures. Ultimately, the nasal width should therefore remain similar to that prior to surgery. I hope that helps.RegardsDr Guy Watts
