Can the nasal bones be reduced?
Disease description:
The nose is very large, primarily due to the relatively large nasal bone, making the facial features appear particularly unbalanced and affecting overall appearance. I would like to know if it's possible to reduce the size of the nasal bone.

The size of the nasal bone can indeed be reduced through certain methods. Specifically, nasal bone reduction mainly includes alar base reduction surgery and osteotomy. Alar base reduction surgery involves making incisions at the base of the ala or within the alar groove, followed by removal of a portion of the alar tissue to achieve a reduction in the size of the nostrils and nasal bones. Osteotomy, on the other hand, involves cutting or filing part of the nasal bone to reduce its size. These surgical procedures must be performed in a qualified hospital, with a suitable surgical plan developed by a professional physician based on the patient's specific condition. After surgery, patients should maintain local hygiene and cleanliness to avoid infection. Nasal bones can be reduced through surgery, but there are certain risks involved, so careful consideration is necessary before deciding on the procedure.
