Nose Reshaping

Rhinoplasty can reshape your nose to remove a nasal hump and reduce an enlarged tip. It also can improve the angle between your nose and upper lip.

Incisions usually are made inside your nose to provide access to cartilage and bone which can be cut and reshaped to alter the external appearance. The nasal bridge can be narrowed by moving the bone inward, as shown by the arrow. In some instances, an "open" technique, which requires an incision on the underside of your nose between the nostrils, may be used.

Areas where cartilage and bone have been readjusted to improve the shape of the nose are shown.

Following surgery, your nose will complement your other facial features.
