How is a flat nose corrected?

There are many ways to do this ranging from non surgical with filler through to surgical augmentation with Medpor or rib/caer cartilage

Many ways to fix the flat nose. I need to see photos to give a proper answer. In general the nose needs grafting of cartilage from your septum and possible narrowing your nasal bones. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural noses. 

Hello!This is difficult to answer without pics. In general, you will require grafts to the nose. Depending on the skill, experience and preference, you will receive many answers. Go visit several Board Certified Plastic Surgeons!Hope this helps!DR J

Hello. I'm not really sure what you mean by a flat nose. There are many different types of nasal deformities and even more techniques to correct them. A rhinoplasty expert will be able to give you more details when they evaluate you.

There are many different types of flat nose, so it’s wrong to think that there’s just one type with one surgical solution. The nose can be flat at the top because you’re born with broad, wide nasal bones and you have to work out whether you have to bring the nose together at the base where it meets the face, or  you have to bring it together the bridge, or do you have to do both? There are different techniques for either of those. You will also have to work out is it the cartilage bit, that’s the lower half the nose, that’s flat?This is often what we might call a boxer’s nose or a saddle nose because when you look from the side there is a dip in the bridge of the nose, just above the tip and this is often because of septum injury.So in these cases a surgeon needs to be able to know how to rebuild and reconstruct a saddle nose, these can be really quite complex operations. It’s not unusual for me to have to use rib cartilage and even scalp lining to rebuild the nose in these difficult cases. These aren’t cases for everybody and I often have other surgeons referring me these difficult cases.

That is too open a question. It's like asking how do you get from New York to Los Angeles. There are a lot of ways and the space is too limited in this format to do a full description. Textbook chapters are written on the subject.I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding surgery.My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship in order to know if this assessment is valid.

When you use the term 'flat nose' that ma imply a flat bridge, a flat tip or both. Either way some form of augmentation is needed whether it be done with cartilage grafts, synthetic implants or a combination of both.

A flat nose can be augmented to raise the dorsum and the tip can be lifted as well . Best to be seen in person to be properly evaluated.

 A full set of photographs are required to make a determination about what may or may not be required, since rhinoplasty is one of the hardest operations to perform in the entire field of cosmetic surgery. Cartilage grafting techniques are used to build up the bridge and tip when needed

Thank you for your question and there are several techniques that can be used to raise a flat nose.  Which would be best for you would be determined at s consultation.  So see some experts in your areaDr Corbin
