Will a wider nose make my eyes look closer together?

A
aj90190Dec 16, 2013

Hello. My nose is very very narrow and pinches a bit in the center of my bridge. I have had a consultation, and I have been told that my nose would be more compatible with the rest of my facial features if it was made straighter and a bit wider. I actually agree with this, but I'm worried because my eyes already look a bit too close together in my opinion, and I am concerned that making my nose a bit wider will make my eyes look even closer together. Do you know if this will be the case?

I would recommend following up with your surgeon. Each surgeon has specific post-operative guidelines, and your surgeon will able to advise you on how to clean the inside of the nose in the weeks following your procedure. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
