Asian Nose Bridge Too Low, Fixing Without Implants? (photo)

I absolutely agree with you that your own tissues would work better than an implant. In particular, the skin is going to limit the amount of augmentation and the forces from the tight skin would force a synthetic implant down onto the underlying bone, causing a footprint onto the bone below. This will also reduce the amount of initial augmentation.

You can go with rib or with your ears. You'll probably need both ears to get the amount of augmentation.

      Ear and septal cartilage could be used to build up the dorsum rather than the rib.  This has less morbidity and the smaller pieces do not have the issue of warping.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
