My Nose is Literally Flat and Wide! I Have No Nose Bridge! Would Surgery Work? (photo)

Question

My nose is literally flat and wide! I have no nose bridge! What would need to be done. I want it thinner and my nose bridge higher. Would this be possible?

Thomas A. Lamperti, MD · Answer

Your bridge could be built up using a cartilage graft. This would also serve to create a thinner appearance on frontal view as well.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A flat nose is best addressed by building up the bridge with cartilage grafts harvested from inside the nose and osteotomies to narrow the very wide bridge. The nostrils can be narrowed through an alar-plasty procedure.
