Osteotomy for Wide Bridges
If the nasal bones are too far apart or too wide, osteotomy may be performed to reshape the bones. Osteotomy can usually be performed with closed rhinoplasty, which means the incisions are located inside the nostrils. Repositioning the nasal bones can create a slimmer nasal bridge that is more balanced with the rest of the nose shape.
Increasing Bridge Height
If the nasal bridge is too low, it can cause an optical illusion that makes the bridge appear wider. Adding height can fix this problem, which can be achieved with either non-surgical or surgical methods. Dermal filler injections can add height with a non-surgical treatment or rhinoplasty can be performed to permanently raise the bridge with cartilage grafting. Either way, the increased bridge height can create the balanced nose shape desired.
