Description: Rhinoplasty. Narrowing the nasal bones. To narrow a nasal bone, two cuts are made in the bone with a tiny chisel: one cut starting at the yellow dot and extending up along the green arrow, and another cut starting at the blue dot and extending out along the black arrow. The piece of bone thus loosened from the skull is pushed inward, narrowing the nose. These chisel cuts are made from underneath the skin, so there is no scar in the area after healing.
