How to Treat a Dorsal Hump
A dorsal hump can only be permanently corrected with rhinoplasty. Non-surgical treatments may temporarily camouflage the profile in selected cases but do not remove bone or cartilage. The appropriate approach depends on nasal anatomy (bone vs cartilage), skin thickness, facial balance, and whether breathing function is involved.
Is Surgery Required to Straighten a Broken Nose?
No. Surgery is not always required to straighten a broken nose. Some nasal fractures can be corrected without surgery if they are treated early and if the nasal bones are displaced but still mobile. Surgery becomes necessary when the fracture is complex, treatment is delayed, the nose heals in a crooked position, or breathing function is affected. The decision depends on anatomy, timing, and internal support… not on pain, bruising, or appearance alone.
Alarplasty (Nostril Reduction) Explained
Alarplasty, also called nostril reduction surgery, is a focused nasal procedure that reduces flared, wide, or elongated nostrils without reshaping the entire nose. When properly planned and conservatively executed, it can significantly refine nasal balance with minimal scarring and a short recovery. It is not a substitute for full rhinoplasty, and it is not appropriate for every nose.
Nose Bridge Types: High and Low
The nose bridge — the bony and cartilaginous structure between the eyes — plays a defining role in facial balance. A high nose bridge tends to project forward and appear more sculpted, while a low nose bridge often looks flatter or wider. Neither is inherently better. The key question is whether the bridge is proportionate to the rest of the face, and whether altering it would improve balance or introduce new problems.
Ozempic Face: Facial Changes After GLP-1 Weight Loss and How to Correct Them
Rapid weight loss with GLP-1 medications can deflate deep and superficial facial fat compartments, exposing laxity and altering contours. These changes are structural, but fully correctable with targeted volume restoration and tissue repositioning.
Correcting a Receding Chin: Causes, Anatomy, and the Most Reliable Treatments
A receding chin, called retrogenia, comes from either the position of the chin bone, the way the teeth meet, or age-related changes in the lower face. Treatment is highly individual. It ranges from simple contouring to full skeletal correction when the jaw is involved.
Preservation Rhinoplasty: What It Is and Who It’s For
Preservation rhinoplasty is an advanced surgical technique that refines the nose while preserving its natural anatomy. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which often involves removing or reshaping large portions of cartilage and bone, preservation rhinoplasty focuses on maintaining structural integrity. This approach reduces trauma to the nasal tissues and supports more predictable, natural results.
Rhinoplasty After a Broken Nose: From Celebrity Stories to Real Solutions in Alberta
A broken nose leaves a mark that time alone rarely smooths out. The swelling goes down, the bruises fade — yet something about the shape feels off. One side may look flatter, the bridge uneven, breathing less freely than before. For many Albertans, those after-effects last years.
