Options for Raising Nasal Bridge Slightly?

There are a few options available if you wish to augment the nasal dorsum:

1) Implants
2) Filler
3) Using your own natural cartilage and tissue

 

Implants are still widely used by surgeons, but I prefer to use your natural cartilage if possible.  I believe there are less risks using your own cartilage compared to using an implant. Risks associated with implants may include asymmetry, rejection, and infection.

Filler may mildly lift a drooping tip, and may be used to augment the nasal dorsum.  Using filler to change the appearance of the nose is referred to as non-surgical rhinoplasty.  Only a small amount of filler may be used, and it must be injected slowly to limit the associated risks which include irregularities and necrosis (death of the skin).  I would see a surgeon that is comfortable with these injections.

 

An option I frequently use is dicing your natural cartilage into a filler like material and wrapping it in deep temporalis fascia, which is harvested from the scalp.  This can produce a natural augmentation of the dorsum that  is readily accepted by the body. 
Cost can vary from surgeon to surgeon, and I would recommend having consultations with a few.  This will enable you to get a feel for which surgeon may best help you achieve your goals. Thanks and good luck!

There are a number of options for raising the nasal bridge.

These include injectable fillers such as Radiesse, nasal implants and cartilage. The last two options require a trip to the operating room.

I could discuss your situation more completely if I had access to photos.

I suggest you arrange a consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon in your area to explore what will work best for you.

Good luck!

It's pretty common to need to raise the bridge slightly. You could consider using your own cartilage versus using a silicone implant. I prefer using a patient's own cartilage when possible.

Without seeing your nose it's hard to say if anything separate would need to be done to your tip to further help with defining that area.

 

Cost vary a bit depending on how much work needs to be done exactly. I could give you a better idea after seeing several photos of your nose/face from all angles.
