Would it be possible to achieve a rhinoplasty result that lowers the bridge? (Photos)

Question

(Last picture is the edited one) Hi! Due to being mixed white & asian, I inherited a variety of features, but my nose bridge turned out absolutely terrible. Not only is the part in between my brows flat compared to the hump, but it doesn’t even match the front of my nose. The front of my nose is a button nose. Is there any way to lower the bridge to be similar to the last picture? I want to keep my button nose look in the front, so I don’t want any slimming done. I only want the hump removed. First three pictures are my nose right now, last is the edited result that I want to get close to. (of course a bit more natural, though) the lower bridge would match my face a trillion times more since I inherited the front of my mom’s nose, and her side profile is a lot like the result I want.

Yes your bridge can be lowered and I think you would get a nice result. I would perform this as a closed rhinoplasty but open rhinoplasty would work as well

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The dorsal hump could be removed without altering the tip. 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.
