In my country some docs say that people with high myopia (-5) cannot have rhinoplasty as it will make the vision much worse. Is this reality? I am tslking about fixing a high bridge nose, making it lower. Please see the photo.

Answer: Rhinoplasty with myopia? I have never heard of this being a contraindication for rhinoplasty. You should have no problem with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Answer: Myopia and rhinoplasty There are no contraindications to rhinoplasty based on the degree of nearsightedness. Changing the dorsal profile does not worsen myopia or change the vision. Seek out an in-office consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to discuss your concerns. Best wishes!
