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: Narrowing the nasal bones Hello! It appears that you may have wide, or lateralized nasal bones that can be made narrower with osteotomies performed at the time of Rhinoplasty surgery. Be sure to consult with a specialist for this operation and best of luck to you!

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: Combination approach
It appears that your nose may also be underprojected which would be better determined with a profile photo. If this is the case, the treatment should involve a combination of osteotomies to narrow the bones, in combination with some cartilage grafting which will both improve the projection but also provide a more narrow bridge.

Answer: Medial and lateral osteotomies with nasal bone resetting to fix wide nose bridge The picture of your nasal bridge shows a slightly abnormal width of nasal bones that can be addressed with medial and lateral osteotomies and resetting the nasal bones inward. This is a very common maneuver that is performed on nearly all rhinoplasties. Based on the picture presented, it does not appear that there is much tip work that is needed on your nose, just the osteotomies.

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. Saddle nose deformities are common after nasal trauma, severe nasal infection, prior nasal surgery - to name just a few reasons. Or, it may just be the way your nose has developed. In this situation, an augmentation of your nasal bridgewill provide the appearance of a more balanced and narrower nose, even without narrowing anything. Sometimes, the more narrowing can be achieved by moving your nasal bones closer together.
