Medical Name: Nasal Bridge Augmentation
Also Known As: Nasal Implants for Flat Noses
The Procedure: Without any external incision, the implant is inserted through the nostrils. To achieve an aesthetically appealing appearance of the nose, a silastic nasal implant or a cartilage graft from the ear may be required.
Dr. Hanna’s Notes: For those seeking nasal contouring, the most common complaint is the nose is too large for their face. However, in many cases, it is necessary to build up a small, short or flat nose. This procedure is ideal for those who may have sustained an accident to their nose, causing flattening, due to loss of bone cartilage. In certain ethnic groups, the nose is commonly found to be too large, too broad and relatively flat.
