I have valve collapse and a flat nasal bridge after a poor surgery. Can spreader grafts be used to raised the dorsum/add aesthetically pleasing height to a flat, wide bridge, instead of just adding width to the nose? #valve collapse #spreader graft #inverted-v #bridge

Answer: #spreadergraft The spreader grafts are placed between the septal cartilage in the midline and the lateral triangle shaped cartilages on the outer walls in the middle third of the bridge. Therefore they always widen the bridge. They can also be used to raise the bridge forward and accentuate the aesthetic line that runs from the inner eyebrow down to the tip of the nose if they are aligned so they protrude a couple of millimeters forward of the forward edge of the septum when the skin/fat layer is not too thick. But if you need true raising of a flat bridge a graft placed on top of the forward edge of the septal cartilage is a better option.

Answer: How to increase height of bridge? The height of your nasal bridge can be raised with Cartilage grafts takes from your septum or ear. Spreader graphs are used for the valves on the middle side parts of the nose. See a very experienced rhinoplasty revision surgeon who does natural looking noses and look at his before and after revision work.
