What does nasal spine reduction involve?
Reducing the nasal spine is also known as a columellar-plasty. This involves shaving both bone and cartilage from the nasal spine, columella and trimming back skin on both sides of the columella as well. This can be accomplished with a closed rhinoplasty approach with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. For many examples of a columellar plasty, please see the link below
