Is my nose too flat? What can be done to improve it? (Photo)

Question

James Chan, MD · Answer

There are many options for increasing the height of your nose.  Nasal implants are an option.  Rib cartilage grafts can also be used.  Sometimes fillers can be used to fill in the radix (bridge of the nose).  Consult with a facial plastic surgeon to find out specific recommendations for your nose.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A full set of facial photographs are required to make a determination about which techniques of rhinoplasty would be applicable to your nose. The bridge line can be augmented with an implant or patient's own natural tissues such as cartilage. The bidgeline can also be narrowed to reduce the flat appearance and give more definition to the sidewalls of the nose.

Michael M. Omidi, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question! I believe that, ultimately, you should be the one to decide on the ideal shape and size of your nose. As they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." So we can't really tell you that your nose is too flat;  it's ultimately up to you to make a decision about rhinoplasty.  
However, an experienced plastic surgeon will help you decide on the ideal shape of your nose by providing a detailed consultation and showing you before-and-after pictures. With this procedure, subtle changes can make a big difference and create that exquisite look that you're aspiring towards.  
Remember that an in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is always the best way to fully assess your needs and address your concerns. Best of luck!
