I'm thinking about having a nasal augmentation but would like to know what typical results feel like to the touch. Is your nose as flexible as before? Can you pinch it, squeeze it, rub it like before? Is there a dent at the bridge?

Answer: Nasal Augmentation There should be no noticeable dent in the bridge and the nose should feel natural. We fashioned implants and grafts should be virtually indistinguishable from your own tissues. However, depending upon the health and/or thickness of the nasal skin the dorsal augmentation material may be more 'readable' than at other times. My preference for first time dorsal augmentation is an implant since they are constructed in such a way as to blend in with the surrounding tissues more imperceptibly. Best of Luck Dr Harrell

Answer: Nasal Augmentation Nasal augmentation is usually done on the dorsum and depending on what type of material used, the dorsum may feel hard or mobile, somewhat ridged or natural. If silicone implant or rib cartilage are used, then it feels hard and mobile for the former and immobile for the latter. Your nasal tip should not feel much different even if cartilage grafts are placed.
