Nasal bone osteotomy with narrowing
INDEX
Nasal bone reduction (osteotomy reduction) is a rhinoplasty procedure that narrows the width of the nasal bridge by repositioning and securing the nasal bones. It is suitable for individuals with a wide or broad-appearing nasal bridge
, or those concerned about curvature from the nasal bones to the bridge (a crooked nose). By addressing
the underlying bone structure, this technique achieves a sharp yet natural straight line for the nasal bridge.

Our clinic utilizes an ultrasonic bone shaver that removes bone without damaging soft tissue. Since incisions
are made only inside the nostrils, the procedure leaves no external scars.
Compared to traditional bone-cutting methods, it offers reduced downtime and minimizes swelling and bruising.

Features of Our Nasal Bone Osteotomy and Width Reduction Procedure
At our clinic, we meticulously design the bone-cutting position to match your ideal nasal bridge line, precisely targeting only the necessary areas. We perform
bone cuts using highly safe ultrasonic bone shavers and precise bone chisels, carefully protecting surrounding tissues. Furthermore, we take the utmost care during the procedure to ensure effective results while preventing post-operative nasal congestion (nasal obstruction).
Safe Nasal Bone Width Reduction Using Ultrasonic Bone Shaping Device
At LIVIN CLINIC, we use an ultrasonic bone shaver that precisely removes only hard bone tissue without affecting soft tissues. This allows insertion through a minimal incision
without damaging surrounding critical structures like nerves and blood vessels, significantly reducing physical burden and downtime compared to traditional bone cutting methods.
Furthermore, this device does not generate heat, so it does not affect the delicate nasal cartilage. The
procedure is performed from inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars and achieving a natural finish.

Treatment Process
Design
Based on preoperative simulations and your ideal image, we will propose a nose shape that complements your facial features. On the day of surgery, we will also ensure ample time for design consultation.
Anesthesia
It is performed under intravenous anesthesia or general anesthesia.
surgery
The surgery takes about one hour. Scars may appear inside the nasal cavity, on part of the columella, or on the bridge of the nose, but these are inconspicuous areas.
