What are wide nasal bones?
Wide nasal bones are a broad bony framework at the top of the nose. They can be inherited, become wider after a hump is removed (an open roof), or result from an old fracture.
Correction uses osteotomy: the bones are precisely cut at their base and moved inward to narrow the upper nose. It is often combined with hump reduction or bridge refinement.

Wide Nasal Bones in Seoul: your questions answered.
Is osteotomy painful?
Discomfort is usually moderate and controlled with medication. Bruising is more noticeable than pain.
How long does bruising last?
Most bruising around the eyes fades in one to two weeks.
Can wide bones be narrowed without breaking them?
No. Bone does not change shape without osteotomy; filler or contouring only add height.
Will my nose look pinched at the top?
Narrowing is planned to suit your face and to avoid an over-narrow, pinched look.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It is often done with hump removal, bridge augmentation or tip plasty.
