I think my nose bridge is too low for my brow - how high should a nose bridge be? (Photo)

Question

I think that my nose bridge should be higher for a more aesthetic visage. Is there a way to measure how high a bridge should ideally be?

Young Min Im, MD, PHD · Answer

Generally, for a more natural-looking nose, the starting point of the bridge should be slightly lower than the forehead area. Looking at your side profile photos, your brow bone appears relatively prominent, which makes the nose bridge look lower in comparison. Compared to the bridge, however, the nasal tip still appears to have relatively good projection.
In cases like this, silicone can be used to increase the height of the nasal bridge, while cartilage (such as ear cartilage, septal cartilage, or rib cartilage if additional support is needed) can be used to refine and shape the nasal tip. This helps create better overall balance between the bridge and the tip of the nose.
The overall shape of the nose should also be harmonized not only from the side profile, but also with the eyes, nose, and lips from the front view as well. Because of this, a professional in-person consultation would be necessary to create the most balanced and natural result.
