Thin-Skinned Nose Rhinoplasty

A bony nose is one of the most common types for cosmetic surgery. It has unique characteristics that make its surgery somewhat different from other nose types. Typically, a bony nose has thinner skin and a stronger bony framework, which allows the surgeon to make delicate and precise changes. One of its most noticeable features is the presence of a dorsal hump or bump on the nasal bridge, which may negatively affect appearance and reduce self-confidence.

Characteristics of a Bony Nose

Thin, less oily skin, which makes changes and reshaping of bone and cartilage clearly visible.
Strong nasal framework composed of firm bones and cartilage, enabling precise contouring.
A pronounced dorsal hump on the nasal bridge, which is one of the most common reasons patients seek surgery.
The nasal tip is often well-defined and prominent, though in some cases it may also require correction.

Advantages of Bony Nose Surgery

One of the greatest advantages of bony nose surgery is that the thin skin allows the final shape of the nose to be clearly visible. Unlike fleshy noses where thick skin masks changes, in bony noses every modification made to bone and cartilage is easily seen, enabling the surgeon to refine the nasal shape and lines with precision.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Hamidreza Rasti, drawing on his expertise and extensive experience, uses advanced tools such as the new generation of Piezosurgery for bony nose rhinoplasty. This cutting-edge technology enables the surgeon to precisely reshape and refine the nasal bones without damaging the surrounding soft tissues. Piezosurgery reduces swelling, bruising, and pain after surgery, accelerating recovery.

The Importance of Facial Analysis and Professional Consultation

Before performing bony nose surgery, Dr. Rasti conducts a comprehensive and specialized facial analysis to ensure the new nasal shape harmonizes with other facial features. This step is crucial since the nose must be designed to enhance overall facial aesthetics while appearing natural. During consultation, the patient’s expectations are discussed, and the best surgical plan is proposed based on the detailed facial analysis

Postoperative Care

Strict adherence to postoperative care instructions plays a vital role in the quality and longevity of results. Regular use of nasal tape, avoiding trauma or pressure on the nose, and refraining from heavy activities all aid the healing process. Patients should also avoid prolonged sun exposure and conditions that may cause swelling.

Final Result

Through the precise and scientific techniques of Dr. Hamidreza Rasti, bony nose rhinoplasty results in a beautiful, natural, and well-proportioned nose. These changes not only improve nasal appearance but also significantly boost the patient’s self-confidence. Patients who undergo correction of a bony nose are typically highly satisfied with their results, as this nose type has excellent shaping potential, producing clear and impressive outcomes.
