Will my eyes appear closer if I have my bridge raised and tip lowered in a rhinoplasty? (photos)

Raising the bridge of your nose and adjusting the tip can indeed have an impact on the overall appearance of your face, including how your eyes are perceived.

Raising the Bridge:
Adding height to the nasal bridge can fill in the hollow space between your eyes, creating a smoother and more continuous line from the forehead to the tip of the nose. This can give the illusion that your eyes are closer together because the raised bridge reduces the visual width between them.

Adjusting the Tip:
Pulling the tip of your nose down can straighten the nose and reduce the upturned appearance also you can achieve longer look. By creating a straighter nasal line and reducing the prominence of the tip, the overall balance of your facial features can be improved. This can also contribute to the perception of your eyes being closer together.

Combining these adjustments can lead to a more harmonious, balanced facial appearance.

Although augmenting your dorsum (bridge), and more specifically the dorsum between your eyes (radix) will not physically stretch your skin to the same extent as your fingers can, visually it will give the perception that there is more definition to the nose in between the eyes, and consequently the eyes will appear slightly closer together. This change to the appearance of the area in between your eyes will happen independent of changes to the shape of the tip of your nose.
