my side profile is fine but my nasal bone is too wide so can you break and narrow the nasal bone without removing the dorsal hump or effecting the natural profile of my nose, and if so how is it done?
Answer: Narrowing the Nose
Rhinoplasty is one procedure that requires an examination in order to gain a realistic idea of what the procedure will or will not entail. The short answer is that the nasal bones can be narrowed without reducing a dorsal hump given that the individual patient's anatomy is favorable.

Answer: Narrowing Nasal Bones Only During Rhinoplasty While Remainder of Nose is Left Alone
Hi 6867,
Yes, your nasal bones can be narrowed without affecting the rest of your nose. You should discuss your desired rhinoplasty goals with your prospective surgeon during your consultation and be absolutely positive that your surgeon understands what you want. Likewise, your surgeon who is ultimately sculpting your nose needs to be honest with you that just narrowing the bones will result in a nose that is aesthethically pleasing. Choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well.

Answer: Narrowing a wide nose
Yes, it is possible to narrow a nose without effecting the "roof" or dorsum and creating further elevation of that area. The procedure is done slightly differently and I would make sure you see a rhinoplasty expert to achieve that type of correction.

Answer: Osteotomies are typically used during Rhinoplasty Surgery to narrow your nose.
You do not need to have a dorsal hump removed to narrow your nose. Lateral osteotomies, and sometimes medial osteotomies are performed during rhinoplasty Surgery to narrow the front view of your nose. This does not need to affect the appearance of your profile or the height of your nasal bridge.
I hope this is helpful for you.
