Rhinoplasty to narrow bridge of nose? (photos)

Narrowing the wide nasal bridge with rhinoplasty?  Yes your nasal bridge can be narrowed with a rhinoplasty done with the closed technique as well as reshaping your bulbous tip etc.. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does many rhinoplasties and most importantly does them well.

 A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish narrowing a wide nose. To narrow the bridgeline requires osteotomies placed in the nasal bones which narrowed them as well as the upper lateral cartilages. The bulbous tip can be addressed with a combination of conservative cartilage removal or suture techniques, depending upon the anatomy of the lower lateral cartilages of the nasal tip. Best to seek 3  consultations in your area with very experienced rhinoplasty surgeons, since rhinoplasty is one the most difficult procedures to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery. For many examples of narrowing a wide nose, please see link below

Thank you for your question and photo and at a consultation aided by digital photography and your input, you will be able to see what changes are possible with your nose and whether those changes you would like to see are realistic.  So see some experts who use this technology and become better informedDr Corbin

  Hi, I have performed and taught Rhinoplasty for over 30 years.  From the photos the upper lateral cartilage (mid section) of the nose and the area where this meets the nasal tip is indeed a bit wide.  Rhinoplasty can thin and refine these areas of the nose.  I would like to also mention that your chin is a bit weak.  A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the lower face short (de-emphasizes the lips) and the mid face appear top heavy.  Chin augmentation, using a chin implant, will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. Hope this helps.  

The bridge and nasal tip are frequently narrowed with rhinoplasty surgery. Consult with an experienced surgeon who devotes the majority of their practice to this procedure and consistently provides natural results.

The key to proper rhinoplasty for you is refinement and not dramatic change.  Meet with a Bd Certified plastic surgeon or several to develop a comfort level with the plan for change and the doctor performing your surgery.  Retaining a natural balance is important.Jon A Perlman MD FACSCertified, Am Bd of Plastic SurgeryMember, Am.

Dear veatimber, I would seek some secondary consultations with experts in the field of rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty. Some refinements to your nose will bring better balance to your facial aesthetics. During consultation you can have digital imaging performed and see if the proposed changes are what your desired results would be. After consultation the surgeon can discuss a surgical plan to help you achieve your desired result. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
