I want to increase the height of the bridge of my nose and decrease the width of my nose

Question

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Rhinoplastic surgery (aka, a nose job) is the only way you can effect the changes you desire. To build up your bridge, I would need to use cartilage grafts. Generally, the best grafts come from the nose itself. However, you do not seem to have excess cartilage, which I often remove from humps or excess length. If there is not enough cartilage in the septum to build up the bridge of your nose, I could use cartilage grafts from your ears or, if necessary, ribs. In other words, creating a new bridge is a complex procedure and must be done by someone with tremendous expertise who specializes in facial plastic surgery. Refining the width of your nose also requires skill. Take your time to research the best facial plastic surgeons in the country who are not only experienced with cartilage grafts, but also can show you good results with male patients. You may need to travel to find a true expert. I hope this helps.

Hello,That is a very viable option for you. Find a doctor who can do the closed rhinoplasty approach. By doing this via a scarless (closed) approach, there are no external cuts ever on your nose.  This prevents the dreaded complication of external scarring at the base of the nose, which even if rare, if it occurs, is devastating.  Through a scarless approach you can accomplish almost everything needed to be done to the nose with no scarring, less healing time, less bruising, and less swelling. Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for an in person consultation.All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

your nasal bridge need to be augmented using autologous cartilage graft. The nasal tip requires improving definition and projection can be achieved by septal extension graft and suture techniques or Tip grafts.
