A member asked:
Will surgery for nasal polyps make my nose look smaller?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not likely : Only if the polyps are so big they are in your nostrils bulging them outward. Otherwise there will be no change in the bony or cartilaginous parts of your nose.

Absolutely not: Endoscopic or micrsoscopic endo-nasal sinus surgery for nasal polyps can not alter the cosmetic appearance of your nose.
