My nose bridge is very wide and boney, what could be done to fix it? (Photos)

Hello,Thanks for your question. If you are only concerned about the width of your bridge, you could have osteotomies (surgical bone fractures) performed to reposition the nasal bones into a more narrow position. If your tip width bothers you as well, you would need a tip rhinoplasty to narrow the tip for proportional change to the nose. Make sure that you consult with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for an evaluation, photos, and simulations to better understand your options. Good luck,Dr. Shah

I made a computer morph of your nose, and an animation of the morph, to show the changes that are possible for your nose in truly expert hands.Mostly, I narrowed the boney part of your nose. Those bones are frequently moved closer to each other, and it would be an especially important part of your operation.In the morph, I also narrowed the tip of your nose a little bit. It's the bridge that looks so wide right now, but it seems to me that if the bridge is narrowed strongly, the tip will look wider, and narrowing the tip, at least a bit, would be important, too.I'd love to hear what you think of the morph.
You should understand that the changes I demonstrated in the morph require advanced techniques, techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle.  Be sure to read the section in the "Web reference" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon.
Your nose is also a good example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. When you see his goals, you'll know whether he has an eye for a beautiful nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes a beautiful nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. But remember, you're not hiring him for his skills with the computer. The doctor must then show you his before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer.

Your photos reveal a wide nasal appearance involving the upper, middle, and lower thirds of your nose. Rhinoplasty techniques may be used to narrow your nasal bridge and tip for a less distracting nasal appearance. Consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist may be helpful to see if surgery might be right for you. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph
