Ever wonder how rhinoplasty surgeons break the nose during nose job surgery to either straighten or narrow the nasal bones?

A common manuever in rhinoplasty surgery is to create bone fractures in the nasal bones in order to mobilize them to place them in either a straighter or narrower position. There's a lot of mystery involve in how this is done, however, so I decided to video record the process of making these medial and lateral osteotomies in an actual patient in the operating room (with the patient's permission, of course).

Head over to this page in my Rhinoplasty in Seattle video section to see the nose breaking video and learn more.
