I was wondering if its possible to restore the width to the sides of my nose, the bones on the side of my nose were reduced to much and now my nose is to narrow.
Is it possible to get an implant or something hard that resembles the bone to put in the sides of my nose to restore the width and volume, maybe something artificial?
Answer: Restoring nasal width For individuals who have had their nasal bones too narrowed creating an hourglass effect or just too narrowed at the dorsum, there are several options. Dorsal onlay grafts can be used or the bones can also be outfractured in conjunction with some grafting in the middle and upper third of the nose with cartilage to widen the nose. Implants can also be used but they are less desirable, in my opinion, due to hardness and risk of mgiration, extrusion and asymmetry. I hope this information helps.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Restoring width to nasal bones following rhinoplasty (nose job) This is an unusual and difficult situation. If I understand you properly, It is my impression that your best long term solution may be to undergo "out fracture" of your existing nasal bones, if possible. Other than that, there are a whole host of options that we use for reconstructive rhinoplasty that relies on the use of autogenous graft materials.

Answer: Several options to restore nose width The best way to restore the width is with cartilage but other material such as fascia or Alloderm or bone may also be used. Implants can also be used such as Gortex PTFE or other material but they can shift or become infected.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and restoring nasal bone I assume you had a rhinoplasty before and that is why you are posing the question. In rhinoplasty we remove the hump and that is composed of mostly cartilage and a little bone, that will affect the width of the dorsum. Then the nasal bones are fractured and moved to close the open roof resulting from removing the hump. If the nasal bones were brought in too much that will narrow the width of the nasal bones, then you need to have a repeat fracture of the bones and place the in a wider base.

Answer: Visit a revision rhinoplasty surgeon What you are describing is a rather unusual problem. I would first and foremost suggest talking with your surgeon about your concerns and if possible, getting a second opinion from a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty surgery. In general, if you have a narrow nose, you can try to outfracture the bones or there are some more complicated reconstructive options that are available but these are more extreme and I would only use them as a last result in cosmetic work. Bottom line - there are options but talking with a surgeon in person would be your best bet.
