Types of Rhinoplasty

Common nose irregularities treated with a rhinoplasty include a dorsal hump, extended or enlarged nose, a bulbous tip, saddle nose, drooping tip, pinched tip, crooked tip, widened nose, and hanging columella.  These structural issues can change how a person breathes or how the face looks and can lead to self-consciousness and low self esteem. If you're unhappy with your nose and have been considering rhinoplasty, here are  nose shapes that can be corrected during the surgical procedure:

Wide Nasal Bridge Reduction

Wide nasal bridge reduction is a surgical procedure, primarily osteotomy, used to narrow a broad upper nase by making precise cuts in the bone and shifting them inward.

Dorsal Hump Removal (Roman Nose Correction)

A dorsal hump—sometimes referred to as a Roman nose—is a prominent bump along the bridge of the nose that can make the profile appear more pronounced. Rhinoplasty can smooth the bridge while maintaining the unique character of your face.

Bulbous Tip

Refine and reshape the bulbous or rounded appearance of the nasal tip.

A bulbous nasal tip is more rounded with a ball like appearance at the end of the nose.

Saddle Nose

Symptoms include visible dip, flat area, or caving in on the upper or middle nasal bridge. There also may be chronic stuffiness, trouble breathing through the nose, or a perforated septum.

Crooked Nose

The ‘crooked nose’, otherwise known as a misaligned nose, an asymmetric nose, a shifted nose, a twisted nose, or a broken nose, refers to a nose that appears “off-center” or deviates from the midline
