Is it possible to safely shape my nose into a smooth bridge with no hump? (photos)

Fitlife104May 13, 2014

Looking to smooth bridge to have no hump. To straighten out the bridge to make the face symmetrical and nose to not be crooked. And to thin bridge a little bit to give more of an appealing shape just as in the last two pictures.

Though you are 10 days out from surgery, your nose is still in the early stages of healing.  The fact that one side is more sensitive doesn't point to a specific concern.  Depending the preoperative shape of your nose and what maneuvers were performed, there is the possibility that...

Though you are 4 months out, your nose is actually still healing, and will continue to do so for at least 12 months.  However, it is unlikely you caused any significant damage with this kind of injury.  The fact that you had no pain or bleeding is reassuring.  More importantly,...

Unfortunately, this is a question that is too difficult to answer with just photos for reference.  In general, cutting the depressor septi nasi would help with your concern if it truly is overactive.  See a board certified plastic surgeon.  Good luck and be safe. John T. Nguyen,...

Dear Elawson,I agree with the other docs that it is very early to judgeThe scars near the nostrils will look the worst around a month out, they will lighten up over the next several months to year (did you have a nostril reduction?)Also, expecting a perfect result might be a stretch, you can...

You will need an exam to determine what may be necessary.    At 18 months, you have reached your endpoint. You can always consult with another surgeon for an evaluation. This can likely be improved with a closed approach and not much dissection.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
