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

I would do exactly what you describe.  You are a pretty young lady but I can appreciate your desire to remove the hump on your nose.  Pretty straightforward rhinoplasty, but nonetheless, choose your surgeon carefully and preferably go on three consults until you find a surgeon you are comfortable with.  Your procedure can be done as a closed rhinoplasty.

The dorsum of your nose where the hump is can be rasped down for a straigth or slightly concave dorsum.  Osteotomies to bring your nasal bones in would complement this and thin the width of your nose.  This would be a well described rhinoplasty procedure.

Based on the profile photographs, you seem to be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty procedure to remove the dorsal bump on your nose and thin the bridge.  Often when the bump is removed, the bridge needs to be narrowed as well to maintain the proper balance of the nose.  Dr. B.

  Both of those things can be accomplished with a closed rhinoplasty to produce a nice, natural smooth result.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Rhinoplasty to rove hump with smooth bridge is possible and is the goal in most rhinoplasties. Choose an experienced rhinoplasy surgeon who does natural noses. 

Dear Fitlife104,I believe you have reasonable expectations for a rhinoplastySome of the little details like how refined the tip can look, or how narrow the nose can be on frontal view will depend on your anatomy and skin thicknessSeek out a rhinoplasty specialist who can address your concerns, and morph a realistic image for you when you are readyBest regards,Nima Shemirani

Yes. The changes you're looking to make are very reasonable. The more photos you can provide of results that you like (and dislike) the better. You also are able to articulate the result you're looking for and your expectations are very reasonable. Seek a consultation with a rhinoplasty expert to determine the best next step for you. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Yes, you should be able to improve your nose and your goals are realistic. The next step is to take these photos with you to a consultation with one or more rhinoplasty surgeons. Good luck.
