My nose is so horrible and it makes me want to cry looking at it. All my friends have lovely slim pointy noses and mine is disgusting and wide and square and my nostrils are so shapeless!! Please help.
Answer: Wide Nose Dear Hanna: Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery) to address a wide nose is a common request. Most likely, an “open rhinoplasty” (where the soft tissues are gently elevated to allow direct access to the tip cartilages) will be required. These tip cartilages are then sculpted and sutured to refine the nasal tip. Osteotomies are required to reposition a wide nose closer to the midline.If you like, please follow the link below. The article on Nasal Analysis contains many diagrams that you may find helpful. This may help guide your conversation with your surgeon.Hope this is helpful. Best wishes.Regards,Dr. Shah

Answer: Rhinoplasty to narrow a wide nose A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish narrowing a wide nose by making all of the incisions on the inside of the nose. To narrow wide nasal bones requires osteotomies. A tip rhinoplasty with suture techniques and a conservative amount cartilage removal are required to narrow the wide tip. Wide nostrils are narrowed with an alar-plasty. For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below
