Q: I have a “flat” nose - what can I do about it?

A: Some Caucasians and many Oriental patients have a “flat” nose and request us to build up their nose’s bridge. This results in a better balance with the eyes and in Asians creates a more Eurasian apppearance.

Nasal fractures, often associated with contact sports like football and boxing, can also cause an undesirable “flattening” of the nose.

Elevation of the nasal bridge with silicone is an occasional option, but here at the Double Bay Day Surgery we generally prefer to use the patient’s own tissue.

This Indonesian lady had a small piece of bone taken from her elbow and transplanted into her nose to produce not only a more refined profile but also a better appearance from the front view, glamorising and highlighting the upper part of her face.
