- When patients have a curve or bump or hump in the nose, it is usually made from a combination of the nasal bones and cartilage.
- During surgery, Dr. Suzman carefully sculpts this area by reducing the nasal bone, usually to a height equal to the area between the forehead and the nose.
- After reducing or removing the nasal bump, and nasal bones often have to be realigned in the middle to create a normal appearing nose. This surgical maneuver called osteotomy- or a controlled break of the nose.
- Just below the nasal bones, there is cartilage in the middle known as the septum and the upper lateral cartilages.
- These need to be trimmed to equal the height of the nasal bones after the bump is removed.
- Great care must be taken to maintain an open airway on the inside so patient can breathe well after surgery
- Results can be dramatic within natural and straight appearing nose, and most patients are extremely happy

- Whether you visit Dr. Suzman in his NewYork or Greenwich, CT, offices, he will be able to show you computer stimulation was of how you will look after surgery
