Question

Would like to do bridge augmentation as my nose bridge is virtually nonexistent and also my nose is pretty upturned

Celal Alioglu, MD · Answer

Hello yes you need bridge augmentation during the surgery I will need to use your cartilage from rib

Man Koon Suh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Your nose requires the operation to augment your flat nasal bridge, and lengthening of the nasal tip.There are two different types of material for the nasal bridge augmentation: implant and costal cartilage: but it is judged that the use of an implant is better because your nose is very low.In order to lengthen the upturned tip, alar cartilages in the nasal tip can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the nose. To fix it, ear or septum cartilage will be the first choice, but considering your nasal skin condition and retruded columella, I’d like to recommend costal cartilage to achieve optimal result.

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

For dorsal augmentation, a well-executed diced cartilage fascia (DCF) graft will provide more natural appearing contours. With a rhinoplasty surgeon experienced in this technique, diced cartilage wrapped in fascia is a consistent, reliable, long-lasting technique for creating dorsal augmentation with excellent results. It eliminates the risks of extrusion, and infection associated with synthetic implants, and eliminates the risk of warping seen with en bloc cartilage grafts. An in-person evaluation by a specialist in Asian cosmetic surgery will allow you to consider the treatment options for improving the contour of your face. @drdonyoo @asianrhinoplasty
