How to Correct Hump/wide Bridge Without Making Close-set Eyes Look Worse?

April 2, 2010
Asked By:Jesse707 in Mountain View, CA

I’m considering rinoplasty to correct a hump on my nose. I was seen by a doctor and I was considering making the bridge of me nose smaller, is this considered width or the length? Also, I have close set eyes, how can I prevent them or make them appear further apart, should keep the sides of my nose the same and just correct the hump or do both? by both i mean correct the hump and slim out the sides of the nose.
