Is there any way to thin the bridge after spreader grafts/septorhino? (photos)

August 18, 2021
Asked By:class2 in Los Angeles, California

I had a septorhino 2019 and my nose is substantially wider, had asked before op to please not make my nose wider, but it happened. Is there any way I can make the upper and lower bridge a bit thinner with rasping? To what extent would be feasible with rasping? I would be ok with 1mm on each side at the minimum. Anything to look a bit more narrow on the bridge.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD says:

I have been very unimpressed by the columellar strut that seems to be in fashion these days. It appears to serve no purpose but can feel uncomfortable and distort your tip. I have taken many of them out with no complaints
