Can nasal bones be reduced in size?
Disease description:
My nose is very large, primarily due to an oversized nasal bone, making my facial features appear particularly disproportionate and affecting my overall appearance. I would like to reduce the size of my nasal bone—can the nasal bone be reduced?

The nasal bones can be reduced in size through surgery. Typically, incisions are made on both sides of the alae nasi (nostrils), exposing the nasal bones for resection. Although this surgical approach is relatively invasive, it yields excellent results and is one of the most commonly performed rhinoplasty procedures. During the postoperative recovery period, patients must carefully protect the nasal area and attend regular follow-up examinations.
