If your nose points down, raising the bridge will make this look even more prominent. Your goal should be the opposite; lowering the bridge and raising the tip with suture suspension or a graft.
Raising the nasal bridge is a common procedure done during a rhinoplasty procedure. Synthetic tissues as well as the patient’s own cartilage are frequently used to improve the dorsal aesthetic line and augment in the nasal bridge. It is also important to make sure that the tip and the mid third of the nose will balance with the remainder of the new bridge.
Ones nose has to be functional and match the rest of the face. Nasal surgery is a procedure that may require both reduction and augmentation as part of the same surgery. The majority of Rhinoplasties performed in our facility require the use of cartilage to strenghten the nasal tip and support the airway at the same time make the nose match the rest of the face.
Rhinoplasty can change your nose shape in many ways, depending on what you want your nose to look like. The various parts of the nose can be reduced, lifted up, turned down, elevated or wahtever you like to achieve the nsoe shape you want. The nose shape you want can be worked out by computer simulation before surgery so that you show the surgeon the shape of the nose you desire. G.

Raising the nasal bridge is not risky, but I don't know if this is appropriate for you, even though your nose "points down". The rest of your nose and surrounding facial features should be evaluated. Submit pictures or schedule consultations to discuss your individual needs.
I would have to see pictures of your nose from the front and the side in repose and smiling. Then I could give a more pertinent answer. If the nose points downward , augmenting the bridge would make it look even more down turned. It seems like the tip should be rotated (turned upwards).
Sometimes in medicine we do things because "that is the way I learned it and it has worked for a long time." With nasal packing, this is unfortunately the case. Thankfully, most are going away from it. Anyone who has had nasal packing realizes that it is torture to...
