What is nose rasping?

It is a method generally used in arched noses to reduce the ridge height of the nose. The ridge height of the nose is brought to the desired level with the rasp used in nasal aesthetic surgeries. In cases where the nasal arch is too high, the excess part can be removed by filing or cutting, according to the doctor’s preference. However, it is a more controlled process to reach the desired level by filing the arched part. In cases where the bridge of the nose is very high, rasping may not be enough. In some cases, where the belt is removed to the desired level, the ridge (roof) of the nose may remain open. In such cases, the side wall bones of the nose are broken inwards and a roof is formed again. However, in noses that do not have high arches, it can be lowered to the desired level by simply filing, without the need for this.
