All I want to do is reduce the hump in my nose. I do not want my nose to dip in. But I DO NOT wan an osteotomy. I don't care if there is a little bum,p I just do not want it to be as big as it is. Is this possible?
Answer: Nose bump removal without Osteotomy This question comes up frequently. The concern is to avoid a more involved recovery. As other panel members have said, it is possible to remove the bump without osteotomy to bring in the side walls of the nose. The problem lies in the fact that a natural looking nose has a pyramidal shape in cross-section. When you remove the bump, you actually expose the wider base of the nose bridge, making it look wider and less natural in appearance. The osteotomies help restore the normal anatomy of the nose.

Answer: Hump Reduction without osteotomies When the hump is shaved down, it will create an "open roof deformity". Basically, the top of your nose will be flat. In order to correct this, osteotomies need to be performed to eliminate the open roof and bring the sides of the nose towards the midline. I wouldn't fear the osteotomies. They are a routine component of most rhinoplasties and shouldn't extend your recovery.

Answer: rhinoplasty candidate for hump removal on the bridge line When this hump is removed from the nose, an open roof deformity will be created which will look like a square and flat top nose from the frontal profile. Medial and lateral osteotomies of the nasal bones are required to narrow the nasal bones. For many examples of hump removal and osteotomies in our practice, please see the link below

Answer: Is it possible to shave the hump in my nose without an Osteotomy? Yes, a subtle reduction of your bridge is possible and likely would not require osteotomies. However, this would not create the best possible result. There would definitely be a trade-off to avoid osteotomies which are feared by some but typically do not create any significant increase in downtime or surgical risk. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: No osteotomy rhinoplasty. This is possible if you have limited expectations of how much reduction of the hump you want. The osteotomy's are only used to bring the bones together but if the bones are not separated this is not needed.
