Is it possible to have my nose bridge raised? It's too flat (Photo)

Hello ahnie,Thanks for your question.There are several ways to raise the bridge of the nose.I will list them for you with some of my thoughts so that you can make a good decision regarding which technique makes the most sense for you.1. Injectable filler - patients can have injectible filler like a hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, etc.), Radiesse, or your own fat placed under the skin of the bridge of your nose to elevate it.  This technique is great because it is low cost and easy to perform in the office.  However, because most filler material is not permanent, it needs to be reperformed every so often.2. Placement of a dorsal solid implant - an engineered dorsal implant made out of silicone or medpor, or a tissue implant made out of cartilage or bone can be used to raise the bridge of the nose.  This procedure does require surgery, but it is long lasting.  There may be problems with resorption, malposition, warping, or the feeling of the implant.3. Placement of a DCF graft - a DCF graft stands for diced cartilage/fascia graft. It is made from tiny bits of minced up cartilage, mixed with blood, and placed into a tube made out of biologic tissue known as fascia.  It creates a soft, moldable implant that creates a natural look.  It has varying amounts of resorption.A specialist in rhinoplasty surgery can help you determine the procedure that best fits for you.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Thank you very much for the questions.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, After having analyzed all the info. and photos provided to us, i recommend you perform an Open Full Rhinoplasty, includding narrowing of the nasal base and nostrils, with nasal bones treatment (controled fracture) and alar + triangular nasal cartilages re-shaping.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

The closer the nasal bridge is to the face, the flatter it will appear. Adding height to your nasal bridge not only improve your profile, but it can make your Nose from the front appear much more narrow.There are many surgical techniques that can achieve this. They range from inserting synthetic implants like Gore-Tex or silicone, to organic solutions like your own cartilage.There are advantages and disadvantages to both options. The synthetic implants typically are more uniform, have no exposed edges, will not resort, but are foreign bodies that your body may you to react against or they can get infected.Organic material like your own cartilage may require that you Incisions placed elsewhere on your body, either behind your ear or on your chest in order to harvest the extra cartilage. However, it is natural tissue and your own tissue so the likelihood of rejection is Nonexistent.Good luck with your choice!
