Surgical Techniques for Flat Nose Augmentation

Augmentation Rhinoplasty

A surgical technique called augmentation rhinoplasty adds height to the bridge, therefore improving a flat nose. Usually, it uses rib cartilage, which fits the nose’s natural shape rather nicely.

Refining the Nose Structure

Osteotomy repositions the nasal bones to accommodate a changed nose structure, therefore correcting a depressed nasal bridge. This stage is essential for a distinct look that complements face features.

Tip Refinement

Tip rhinoplasty carefully changes the cartilage for people concentrating on the tip of their nose, therefore increasing symmetry and proportion while honoring the nose’s harmony with face dynamics.

These techniques help people to see a notable but natural improvement in the nose contour, in line with their facial features.

  • Flexibility: Temporary, allowing for changes.

  • Nasal obstruction causes problems with breathing
  • Though it’s really rare, infection
