Can I Fill the Gap At Height of My Nasal Bridge? (photo)

Dear Sameer,

 

Thank you for sharing you photos but a physical examination would allow the surgeon to provide you with more detailed answers.


Nonetheless, you can have fillers injected or a carved graft implanted to resolve your issue.

 

I encourage you to seek consultation with a surgeon of extensive experience in the field of Rhinoplasty. Only then that you will be able to make a well informed decision.

 

Best of Luck to you.

Dr. Sajjadian

The gap at the height of the bridge is caused from either an excessive bony hump or a lack of projection of the glabella.  This can be addressed in 1 of 2 ways; by building up the glabella with cartilage taken from the nose or shaving down the dorsal hump, which will alleviate some of the illusion of a deep depression in the glabella.  Either procedure is done under general anesthesia as a rhinoplasty surgery.

There are several ways to fill this depression. Fillers or some of your own fat can be injected or the depression can be augmented with cartilage or fascia.
