Rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic procedures, which is divided into two main categories depending on the type of nose structure: bony noses and fleshy noses. Each of these types of noses has different characteristics, challenges and methods for surgery. In this article, we will examine the main differences between bony and fleshy Rhinoplasty .
What is a bony nose?
Bony noses typically have thin skin and a strong cartilage-bone structure.
Bony nose features

- The presence of a hump or ridge on the bridge of the nose

Rhinoplasty procedures for each type
Bone Rhinoplasty
In bony noses, surgery mostly involves removing the hump, narrowing the bridge of the nose, and correcting the tip of the nose.
Nose Rhinoplasty
For fleshy noses, strengthening the cartilage and reducing the thickness of the skin of the tip of the nose is of great importance. This is done using cartilage grafts.
