I have searched on Google image search and have yet to see a nose bridge wider than mine. How can this be fixed? Is it even possible, or are the bones too far apart?
Answer: Rhinoplasty with osteotomies may be considered for nasal narrowing. When osteotomies are needed to narrow a wide nasal appearance, this is typically performed at the time of rhinoplasty. Depending on your examination, you may require medial osteotomies (along the roof of your nasal bridge), and lateral osteotomies ( along the path where your nasal bones meet your facial bones. Hope this is helpful. Dr Joseph

Answer: You may have a saddle nose deformity Judging from the photo you provided, you have a depressed nasal profile where the tip is more prominent than the remainder of your bridge; this is called a saddle nose. This flattening makes a nose look very wide.

Answer: Decreasing the width of a wide nose. rhinoplasty A side view would be useful because from the frontal view this almost appears to be a depressed and wide nose bridge. In this situation, a bone or cartilage graft to the dorsum will actually make the nose appear narrower. In many instances a single bone cut on either side of the nose is made to decrease the width of the nose. In wider noses, sometimes two bone cuts are required on each side of the nose to acheive a more agressive decrease in width of the bridge.
