What can be done to widen my nose and how can I communicate this to my doctor? (photos)

Question

Many yrs ago had a rhino get rid of a small bump from after an injury.The dr went grossly over what he was supposed to do and got rid of these parts that used to make my nose wider and softer.He made it higher and so much thinner and I just want my eye bones and side bones or whatevr these parts are back.I dont know how2 explain this.Ive tried and it seems as if Im not conveying my goal properly when I discuss this. How do we get these back and how do I convey this to doctors? Please advise!

Unfortunately, the photos that you posted of your nose are difficult to interpret due to their quality. In that regard, please consider re-asking a question with better photos of your own nose. If you have an overly thin nasal bridge with indentations on both sides, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for permanently filling these areas. Thank you for this question and I hope it's helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

All due respect, it does indeed sound as though what you're trying to describe is difficult to describe, but really, the photos you've submitted don't show anything at all. Clear, in-focus photos showing your entire face from different angles would make it possible for someone to give a rational opinion.

Hello and thank you for your question. It is possible to widen a nose during a revision. At the very least, providing some pictures of your nose would likely get you more specific answers rather than the images you have provided.   I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
