Question

My nose in the middle is swollen. I have great side and tip location i do not want to fix that. Will this be open closed or something else to fix

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

I presume that the arrow is pointing to your MedBridge. You do not appear to have a crooked nasal appearance, but your nose does appear to be wide from top to bottom. The best recommendation I can give is to meet with several reputable rhinoplasty specialist so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. Your mid-vault can also be narrowed. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

What you are referring to are wide nasal bones. Low lateral osteotomies performed through a closed Rhinoplasty approach can accomplish narrowing the entire bridge line. Anticipate a cast place across the bridge of the nose for one week, and visible bruising and swelling for 7 to 14 days

I’m guessing the main procedure to correct your concern would involved infracturing which is typically done as a close procedure.
I suggest having a few in person consultations with plastic surgeons in your community who have a solid reputation for rhinoplasty surgery.
Look for plastic surgeons who are members of the rhinoplasty society.
Best,
