Breaking the nasal bones in Open Rhinoplasty: Osteotomies are performed to narrow wide nasal bridges. Osteotomies are also done when a large hump has been removed from the nose and the surgeon needs to close the open roof deformity. If not, the nose bridge will be square and the patient will have a flattop nose after a hump reduction.I do 3 osteotomies – medial lateral and superior. There can be some edema and ecchymosis around the eyes the following day. But the damage to the nasal mucosa is minimal, and the cutaneous scars are virtually invisible a month after surgery
