I have a very low nose bridge, despite it, my entire face seems balanced enough to where most people think I'm cute. Still, my low bridge is such an overriding feature and it destroys my confidence. I can only imagine how much better Id look with a normal bridge. I attempted a bit of editing and found a desired ideal. But I was wondering if this might be stretching it, since my nose is so short already. Is this achievable with surgery? Can it go higher? Cost estimate? Thank you very much!
Answer: Augmenting the nasal bridge The short answer to your question it is definitely feasible to achieve the bridge you desire. This can be done with cartilage or bone from your septum, ear or rib depending upon how much height is needed or desired. That being said you want to be careful to not overly augment the bridge of the nose or it will shift the tip downward and give it a droopy appearance. Good luck in your area.

Answer: Dorsal augmentation Building the bridge of the nose can be a challenge in Asian and African American rhinoplasty. There are multiple ways to build the bridge (cartilage, fascia, SMAS, rib grafts, silastic implants, etc.) The most important part of this is finding a surgeon that does ONLY facial plastic surgery, as there are many that say they can do complicated rhinoplasty, but simply do not have the experience. Seek the advice of a double board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Dorsal augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from dorsal augmentation of your nasal radix. I prefer to use diced cartilage wrapped in fascia. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Nose reshaping Thanks for your question! It looks like you did a great job adding a little height to your nasal dorsum. Without a detailed examination in the office, it's tough to tell exactly, but adding height is very achievable and can be done through many different ways. As far as cost, this will depend where in the country and who you go with. Realself can provide some good insight into this. hope this helps and God Bless! Dr. Robb
