Key Considerations in Short and Low Nasal Bridge Rhinoplasty

This case emphasizes the importance of tailoring short and low nasal bridge rhinoplasty to male patients with prominent brow bones for both natural aesthetics and functional results.

For men with a low bridge and strong brow bone, careful implant carving is crucial to avoid implant shifting and ensure a natural contour. Simply raising the height is not enough — a balanced approach addressing function, hump reduction, and tip refinement is essential.

At Nose Lab Clinic, we tailor each short and low nasal bridge rhinoplasty to the individual, combining functional correction with aesthetic refinement.

At Nose Lab, we perform all procedures via closed rhinoplasty.
