Was concerned about the height of my nose bridge. It seems it’s very low and wide to me

Answer: Nose bridge I agree with you that your nose is too flat, meaning that it is too close to the face (under projected). It's a common trait. The bridge and tip can be made to look higher and stronger with a rhinoplasty procedure or liquid rhinoplasty (temporary). Consider a consultation for more information.

Answer: Segmentally yes You have an atypical bridge profile; the canonical bridge has a moderate divergence from the maxila, in an angle between 15º to 30º; yours has 45-50º divergence; this is manifested by a very low and sunken radix-upper third of the bridge, acceptable height at the middle vault of the bridge and slightly too high supratip bridge.Your treatment is very difficult since the surgeon is not managing a fully scooped revision rhinoplasty or a typically flat Afroamerican or Asian rhinoplasty bridge, is a progressive defect, so the solution is adding a rib graft, fully customized, that is a perfect match between your current dorsum and the new profile wished; this graft has to be thicker at the upper part of the nose and very thin near the tip.There are other goals in your ethnic rhinoplasty, like the tip derotation, better tip support and definition, eventually alar flare reduction, etc.Seek the advice and hands of a serious professional who offers to you a time-consuming and expensive procedure; stay far from minimally invassive snake-charming procedures, synthetic implants, fillers, wrapped diced cartilage, etc. Difficulty 8 out of 10 in ethnic rhinoplasties, surgical time about 6 hours (in expert hands, could be even longer). See the link below to find few cases of my own practice very similar to yours which I had the opportunity to operate successfully on, sharing a lot of common features with the technical problem you have posted. If you wish better grounded opinion well lit, focused and standard images have to be assessed: frontal, both lateral and both oblique views, also from underneath. Feel free to request any additional information from me.

Answer: Do I have a low wide nose bridge? The limited photographs demonstrate a low bridge and wide nasal bones. A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish building up the bridge line with a cartilage graft, narrowing the bridge line with osteotomies, and narrowing the nostrils with an alar-plasty. For more information and many before and after examples, please see video below
