Is There a Way to Only Change the Width of the Nose? Mine is Very Wide.

Narrowing the nose bones requires gentle and precise cuts in the nose bones that allow the bones to be mobilized and brought inward. It's no possible to move the bones without making these cuts. Bones cuts are referred to by surgeons as Osteotomies and these can be performed through the nose or through a small  stab incision in the skin. After narrowing the nose bones the tip may need to be narrowed slightly to balance the look of the nose but it depends on the patients goals.

The term "breaking" the nose as part of a rhinoplasty procedure is overstatement of that part of the procedure. The bones are actually "cut" with a very sharp tool that creates precise perforations or cuts in the nasal bones. It is not at all violent in nature. As Dr. Pearlman mentioned, the only downside is black eyes for a week to ten days. The upside is that this is the only way to effectively narrow the nasal bridge in most patients. I hope this information is helpful.
