3 Benefits of a Nose Bridge Reduction

Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with the perfect nose shape and size. There can be some part of our nose that we may not be happy with and look for potential options to help “correct” it. The bridge of a nose can often be a common issue for patients where it’s too high, creating a distorted side profile and potentially one you’re unhappy with. 

Nose bridge reduction surgery is one way that can help to resolve this issue. When your nose bridge is protruded, it can often make you appear older than you actually are. Nose bridge reduction will help to reduce the bridge and make the hump on your nose lower. By having such a surgery, there can be great benefits of a nose bridge reduction.

  1. Ideal Side Line

As mentioned earlier, one of the main reasons why a patient may opt for a nose bridge reduction is to reduce the appearance of the bridge. This can help with the appearance of your side profile where the increase in the bridge of the nose can appear significant.

As a result, many patients come away from the surgery feeling satisfied with their results knowing that the bridge of their nose isn’t as apparent on their face. 

  1. Natural looking results

Surgeons that are well experienced in rhinoplasty procedures will be well aware of the different techniques available to them to perform a nose bridge reduction surgery. The anatomy of the nose is extremely complex and surgeons need to have expert knowledge of the nose formation, including the cartilages and bone structure.

Each of the techniques that can be used to change the appearance of your nose bridge can provide natural looking results without significant appearance of scarring and incisions. 

  1. Improve confidence

One of the main reasons why patients opt to have a cosmetic surgery procedure is because they’re unhappy with their current appearance. This can lower self-esteem and make people feel conscious about the way they look. 

The nose is a large facial feature which means it can be very apparent when you feel there’s something not quite right with it. Going through nose bridge reduction surgery can help to change your appearance to needs that you want. Once these are achieved, it can work wonders for your confidence.

What Are The Different Types of Nose Jobs Available?

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is considered one of the most popular types of nose jobs available to patients. However, did you know that there are more to nose jobs than simply cosmetic changes? Although many patients wish to improve their aesthetic appearance, there are different types of nose jobs available that each provide their own intended outcome. 

It’s worth noting that each individual patient is unique, so the appearance after surgery can be different but let’s look at what’s available and what each rhinoplasty surgery serves.

Different types of nose jobs available

Reduction Rhinoplasty

A reduction rhinoplasty does exactly what you expect, it aims to reduce the size of your nose. There are different ways and parts of the nose that can be reduced, whether it’s the overall nose size or concentrating on specific parts of the nose such as the tip or bridge. During the surgery, the desired results are made by removing cartilage so the desired shape can be achieved.

Post Traumatic Rhinoplasty

The structure of the nose is made up of many different parts and cartilage, therefore when injury occurs there can be many impacts that affect the delicate structure of the nose. This can cause changes to the nose such as broken bones, visible changes or even affect your overall breathing.

Bleeding is also another cause for concern as blood flow will be impacted and blood clots can cause septal hematoma. This is when the blood build up causes a collapse of the cartilage and produces a deformity in the nose.

Augmentation Rhinoplasty

In this surgery, your surgeon will aim to build up parts of your nose bone or tissue grafting. This tends to focus more on the nose or bridge areas of the nose. To perform the grafting technique, your surgeon will opt to use cartilage from the other parts of the nose such as the nasal septum.

However, if it’s discovered that you don’t have enough tissue in the area where grafting is available, there are other materials that are available to your rhinoplasty surgeon to perform the augmentation. This includes synthetic implants or autologous implants harvested from the patient’s own nose.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Another different type of nose job available is the revision rhinoplasty. This aims to repair the functionality and appearance of the nose from a previous nose job surgery. Many patients tend to have difficulty with their breathing or appear dissatisfied with their cosmetic appearance from a previous surgery.

Nose reshaping surgery sees a boost in enquiries

Nose reshaping surgery sees a boost in enquiries

Nose reshaping surgery on the rise because of latest addition to the Royal Family

According to a news article in Metro this month, nose reshaping surgery is seeing more and more enquiries as a result of Prince Harry’s fiancé, Megan Markle. So much so that one American cosmetic surgeon has said the actress’s nose is now the most popular cosmetic surgery request.

Plastic surgeon Dr Stephen Greenberg told the newspaper he’d seen a dramatic increase in the number of women asking for nose reshaping surgery to make them look more like Miss Markle. Claiming the trend started in spring this year as the relationship between the couple started becoming a regular feature in the news.

So popular is Meghan’s look, Dr Greenberg went as far as to say the soon-to-be-princess had even knocked the likes of Kim Kardashian of the top spot as the most popular cosmetic surgery request.

Megan has a refined nose structure – with a straight profile and a refined tip – so it’s easy to see why she’s a popular role model for women, especially in light of her being engaged to everyone’s favourite royal. But it’s important to remember, in spite of trends and celebrity culture, that cosmetic surgery should not be undertaken frivolously and only after thorough thought has been undertaken.

Choosing to undergo nose reshaping procedures must be considered and approach for the right reasons. It’s not recommended that a patient seeks rhinoplasty surgery to ‘look like’ another person; celebrity or not. All cosmetic procedures must be undertaken by a patient that understands the implications of surgery, and is only choosing surgery for themselves.

Rhinoplasty and nose reshaping procedures are designed to permanently alter the shape or size of the nose. Popular with both male and female patients of all ages, this type of facial cosmetic surgery is suitable for those with realistic expectations of a nose job.

Nose jobs can change the shape of the tip or the bridge or dorsum, as well as the nostrils and the angle between the upper lip and the nose. A patient may change one aspect of their nose or several; this is discussed during consultation.

A nose reshaping procedure can not only dramatically alter the appearance of the nose, but the face on the whole. There are several rhinoplasty surgery techniques; most fall under the open and closed nose reshaping techniques.

It’s vital a patient understands the limitations of nose reshaping surgery as well as the rewards. Of course, choosing to under cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery means you’ll see a change to the shape or structure of the nose, but you should be aware of risks and limitations too.

For example, what looks like a great nose on one woman may not suit another, and the best rhinoplasty expert will make sure you’re aware of this. One size does not fit all; be prepared to be offered different nose reshaping procedures.
