Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Rhinoplasty Asian Male - Specifically on the Nose Bridge.
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.

Nasal Bridge Augmentation in Asian Patients
Luciano
This is a common concern in the Asian Rhinoplasty patient. There are many options depending on the amount of "bridge" augmentation needed. 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...

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. I will say that I personally feel you have a relatively good nasal dorsum for an asian nose already. I typically place a dorsal implant in my asian nose patients. I then will perform nasal tip work using their natural cartilage. This provides good consistent dorsal augmentation and yet allows me to modify their tip without the...
