The standard technique to narrow the bones of the nasal bridge is an osteotomy. Only in very rare cases can this be avoided. I use a technique called ultrasonic rhinoplasty to perform the bony reshaping which uses a piezotome to very precisely incise the bone and reshape it. This technique avoids any soft tissue trauma and there is far less swelling and bruising. This technique can also avoid an osteotomy in a some situations. It is best to get a Consultation from an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to discuss exactly what your expectations are.
Hello and thank you for your question. Thebest advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. It would be helpful if you could include pictures of your nose. To narrow the mid nasal vault, usually a combination of rasping lateral side wall and osteotomies is performed. Make sure you specifically lookat before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgeryperformed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The mostimportant aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommendthat you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon whocan evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G.

The short answer is yes, in some instances. It is highly dependent on an individual's anatomy and impossible to say if you would be a good candidate or not without photos and, preferably, a physical examination. I would consult with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon that is aBoard Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon. Good luck!
Some shaving on the dorsal sides is performed commonly to avoid protrusions, but usually to narrow the nose and avoid an open roof, osteotomies or precise cutting of the bone on the side of the face is performed to slide them in and close the open roof.
The nasal bones are very thin, and is not a good idea to try to make them any thinner by shaving them down on the sidewalls. Osteotomies placed in the nasal bones are performed to narrow the bridge line and close the open roof created from the hump removal.

It's still too soon to tell what your final results will be. You need to have patience with your body as it begins to heal. The skin, bone and cartilage are all traumatized during surgery. Inflammation (swelling) is the normal response and will help your nose to heal and look beautiful in the...
The area that you are describing is the radix of the nose. That area can be corrected with a filler that is temporary of a cartilage graft from your nose which is more permanent. An in person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon would help in your area.
Dear pjannahx94, You are early in the recovery phase and your splint was recently removed so you will see many adjustments with your nose over the coming next three months. I would suggest keeping close contact with your surgeon as he/she knows best what your proposed results were, what ...
