What Are the Possibilities to Increase Height to an Asian Nose?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

Building the bridge (dorsal augmentation) as you mentioned is a common aspect of Asian rhinoplasty.  There are several options availabe, beginning with surgical vs. nonsurgical rhinoplasty with fillers.  In terms of surgery, the bridge can be built with alloplastic (synthetic) or autologous (your own tissue) grafts.  I think the best option is to use your own tissue, cartilage and/or fascia, to build your bridge.  This gives you the lowest risk of infection, no risk of extrusion or rejection, and will give you a permanent result.

There are many different materials to use in increasing the height of nose bridge. These include synthetic materials, your own bones from different areas of the body, and your own cartilages from nose, ear and rib. They all have distinct advantages and disadvantages. The choice of the material to use is usually based on the severity and the surgeon's personal preference.
	 

	Although synthetic materials are well tolerated in Asians because of their thick skin, these are rarely recommended in patients with thin skin. Cartilage is a  preferred choice in these patients.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

To increase height on the Asian nose there are 2 options available.  The first option is the patient’s own cartilage harvested from the nose to give a small augmentation.  All the incisions are placed on the inside of the nose.  If a large augmentation is desired, then a silicone implant is inserted along the bridge line. These are both done under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.

You have a few options to increase the height of the nasal bridge including non-surgical and surgical methods.  Both have their pros and cons.  I prefer to use cartilage from within your own body to increase the height of the nose only because I have seen many complications from using implants.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can help you achieve the results you seek.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

For over 35 years I have always preferred to raise the nasal bridge with the patient's own cartilage to avoid the possible complications of implant movement, extrusion, or infection associated with nasal implants. I also use cartilage to increase tip projection when necessary.
