I was wondering if its possible to restore the width to the sides of my nose, the bones on the side of my nose were reduced to much and now my nose is to narrow.
Is it possible to get an implant or something hard that resembles the bone to put in the sides of my nose to restore the width and volume, maybe something artificial?

Answer: Visit a revision rhinoplasty surgeon What you are describing is a rather unusual problem. I would first and foremost suggest talking with your surgeon about your concerns and if possible, getting a second opinion from a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty surgery. In general, if you have a narrow nose, you can try to outfracture the bones or there are some more complicated reconstructive options that are available but these are more extreme and I would only use them as a last result in cosmetic work. Bottom line - there are options but talking with a surgeon in person would be your best bet.

Answer: Restoration of nasal bones in rhinoplasty The answer begins with why are the nasal bones gone in the first place? If they are gone due to rhinoplasty then restoring them can be performed with several techniques. Depending on the desired outcome, cartilage can substitute for the nasal bones, calvarial (skull) cone can be used, as can some other materials.
