I love everything about my nose, the only problem I have with it, is my nose bridge. I'm an Asian male, 22, aspiring model. My nose bridge is flat, not significantly. Is it possible to just only get my nose bridge raised? I am open to any ideas and suggestions, and would like to know my options before I proceed with this procedure. I've provided some pictures for help as well.

I have successfully used soft tissue fillers for dorsum augmentation. Fillers are relatively inexpensive and the results are immediate. However, it is important that you find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon because the right filler and technique must be used to get good results and avoid... more

Your Nasal Dorsum Looks Pretty Good

It is definitely possible to just raise the nasal dorsum, as long as doing this does not make the other subunits of your nose appear out of place or mismatched.
