Is it possible to widen lateral nasal bones? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I have revision rhynoplasty done around 6 months ago, doctor infractured my nasal bones and i feel like my nose bridge is too narrow for my face now. Is it possible to widen lateral nasal bones to a wider position?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

In some cases, it is possible to widen the lateral nasal bones during a revision rhinoplasty procedure. This can be done through a surgical technique called osteotomies, where controlled fractures are made in the bones to reposition and reshape them.

An in person consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon is necessary to assess your nasal anatomy and discuss your concerns regarding the width of your nasal bridge.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
