Question

Asian with a wide flat nose

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. While it’s difficult to make a recommendation based on the image you provided, you may be a good candidate for surgical rhinoplasty, which can help thin out the bridge and refine the nasal tip. Individuals with wide noses are often candidates for ethnic rhinoplasty, a procedure that improves the appearance of the nose while preserving its ethnic integrity. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has experience performing ethnic rhinoplasties.

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

Ethnic rhinoplasty typically involves raising the bridge with either cartilage or a type of graft. This creates a much more balanced nose with the tip. At the same time, the tip can be made thinner and more defined. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Oakley Smith, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Thanks for your question. There are different options to improve the appearance of your nose. Liquid rhinoplasty with filler injections can potentially help add height to the nose, however it may not help with the wideness. A surgical rhinoplasty can help make the nose appear narrower and add projection.
