I understand this is done for bumps on the top of the nose. The bones on the side of my nose stick out and I would like to reduce them without losing the overall shape. I also don't want my nose to look like a stick; just more refined. Can this be done?

Answer: The nasal bones can be shaved in a subtle fashion Yes, the nasal bones can be shaved or rasped on the sides to narrow the width of your bridge. Osteotomies (re-setting or contolled fractiring) are also used to reduce the wideness of the nose, yet result in a natural look.

Answer: Shaving nasal bone vs. osteotomy Shaving the nasal bone generally achieves a subtle improvement only. The nasal bones just aren't that thick. When a significant hump is removed or a significant narrowing of the nose is needed, an osteotomy (insetting of the bones) is generally necessary.
