Can you add a feminine curve to the bridge of the nose without making the front shorter and wider?

Question

I am looking to find out if its possible to curve the bridge of the nose without changing the appearance from the front. I understand that it might look SLIGHTLY different as the nose will be altered but can you change the bridge without making the nose shorter/wider? I don't mind the front of my nose and I think it suits my face well. However, I am very unhappy with my profile and am looking to make the bridge of my nose more curved and feminine. Can this be done without widening the front?

Thank you for your question. Yes indeed it is possible in most cases to provide a feminine curve to the bridge of the nose from the side view without affecting the tip from the frontal view. Without seeing your photos and examining your nose, it is hard to say if this would be possible in your case. it is also very important for you to have a computer imaging session with your facial plastic surgeon so that you can be sure that is the best possible look for you and your facial features.   Best wishes on your rhinoplasty journey, Dr. Anna Petropoulos

Thanks for your question. Board Certified Plastic Surgeons understand how to balance the nose so that the proportions work well. It is possible to smoothen the dorsal hump on a nose without altering the look of the frontal profile, although there might be some inevitable small changes. Your surgeon should guide you towards the most ideal nose goal.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

I think that if you want the profile taken down a bit you should bring photos to your surgeon to show your goal. This would be helpful.

ThanksIndeed To create a curve on your nose is achievable without altering your nasal tip, however depending on the degree of the slope this can give an operated look!bwj TaheryOtolaryngologist/Facial Plastic  SurgeonChesterUK
