Are there less invasive options that can minimize the appearance of a bony nose bridge? (photos)

Question

I would be relatively happy if i did not have this weird bony bridge. I'M a petite girl with a prominent nose. I don't get too upset until i see pictures or video at certain angles and it looks horrible. I don't really want to go under extreme measures of full on surgery. Are there other options for my bony bridge? Thank you

Hello from Istanbul! A less invasive solution to a pronounced bony bridge is the application of dermal fillers. It could offer an improvement by balancing the surrounding areas. However, it's crucial to note that fillers have limitations. It would most likely not remove the bony appearance entirely and I would recommend against using it excessively. For a more lasting and tailored result, surgical intervention remains the gold standard. A rhinoplasty would make it possible to refine your nasal bridge to better complement your overall facial features. Best wishes on your decision-making journey!

Based on your photos, a surgical rhinoplasty would give you the best result. But, it you are not ready for that, then a filler could be used to hide the bump some. The filler wouldn't make your nose smaller, but the side view can be made straighter. Be sure to see an expert injector for consultation.

Your nose is twisted, the upper portion is going to the left and the lower portion is going to the right.  You will need the nose straightened which will require surgery.  Fillers will only give temporary improvement, if that.

Best Wishes,

Hi , there are several techniques that can be done to address the nasal profile. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

Thomas Trevisani, MD · Answer

In person exam is essential. Based on the limited photos you appear to be a good candidate for Cosmetic Reduction Rhinoplasty preferably performed through a closed technique. I do not believe anything short of this ( non-surgical) can produce a desirable result--a more feminine, more elegant nose. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS with a wide gallery of before and after photos- and review the details of the procedure during your consultation
