I like that my nose has a slight bump in it and would want to keep it that way, but just make the nose smaller overall in profile (while maintaining the shape for the most part). Is this possible?
Answer: Using rhinoplasty to make nose smaller while maintain a bridge bump In general, it should be possible to reduce the overall size of the nose while maintaining some (or all) of a bridge bump. You should do digital simulations with your rhinoplasty surgeon to get a better idea of how much (or little) change you want to make.

Answer: Can you get a rhinoplasty that makes a nose smaller without totally eliminating the profile view bump? There are a variety of options to modify the dorsal bump of the nose in order to improve the cosmetic appearance by creating better harmony with the other facial features. The most reliable and long lasing way is with a subtle artistically performed rhinoplasty through a closed or open approach. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Absolutely possible... but... ...extremely difficult.This would require a customized work made by a very very good and experienced surgeon, probably building a new bridge hump by means of a graft.

Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate for smaller nose and still leave a dorsal hump Without a full set of pictures, it is very difficult to comment on what can and cannot be accomplished with a rhinoplasty procedure. The dorsum of the nose is composed of both bone and cartilage, and contributes significantly to making the nose large and projecting. Remember, the nose is with 3-dimensional structure and it must look good in every different angle and function properly. It is possible to make the nose smaller, and leave a rather full, straight dorsal profile in some patients. Computer imaging in the office setting would be helpful to understand what can be accomplished. Rhinoplasty is the hardest operation to perform in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so choose your surgeon very wisely based on experience.
