Ask An Expert: Is it Possible To Re-Widen The Nasal Bridge?

Anand Patel • June 9, 2021

Question: "Is it possible to re-widen the nasal bones and upper bridge during revision rhinoplasty? What techniques are used to do this? Is there a high risk of complications to widen the bones? My nasal bones and upper bridge are way too narrow now and do not balance with the rest of my nose or features."


Answer: "Yes, it is possible to widen the upper bridge during revision rhinoplasty. This requires mobilizing the 'side panels' of the bridge and then placing cartilage grafts that will allow the bones to heal in a wider position. This will also likely improve your breathing."
