I've noticed that with some surgeons that their patients have rounded or puffy looking nose bridges, and i can tell it isn't the swelling but instead of how the nose was reshaped. Before their noses were almost like a trapezoid where it was slightly flat on the top and it looked good. Is there a way where one would be able to place a thin, narrow piece of rib on top of the bridge to avoid that rounded puffy look?

Answer: Rounded nose bridge Its probably best that you make sure to look at before-and-after pictures that are at least six months to year after the rhinoplasty procedure and then make your determination, since the bridge line will look round and puffy for the first few months after the procedure. This is due to normal swelling. Nasal cartilage is always the primary grafting source for cartilage grafts when they are required to be placed across the bridge of the nose. Not rib cartilage.

Answer: Rhinoplasty bridge One of the most complex aspects of rhinoplasty’s making the bridge of the nose look straight and narrow. Often if there’s a large hump beforehand, flattening the nasal bridge can actually make the boundaries of the nasal bridge looks slightly wider. An experienced surgeon can narrow the nose with a combination of cartilage grafts and bone reshaping maneuvers. On a primary rhinoplasty rib graft really needs to be used except and very specific circumstances.
