Natural Methods to Enhance Your Nose Bridge

Everyone desires a prominent nose bridge. Nowadays, many opt for cosmetic surgery to achieve this, which is indeed a swift and effective approach. However, surgery inherently carries risks, and it can be costly. Considering safety concerns, many prefer avoiding surgical intervention. In such cases, here are some natural methods to elevate your nose bridge.

Natural Techniques for Nose Bridge Enhancement: Rhinoplasty for Wide Noses

Osteotomy, a surgical procedure that narrows the nasal bones, addresses the characteristic wide and flat nasal bridge of Asians. For those with significantly wide and flat nasal bones, this technique can transform the bridge's width, imparting a more three-dimensional appearance to the nose. Additionally, as the nasal bones are narrowed, the dorsum (upper part) of the nose rises, enhancing the actual height of the nose bridge. The combination of these factors significantly improves the appearance of the nose and even the face.

There are typically three surgical methods for narrowing a wide nose:

1. For those with wide alae (wings of the nose) and nostrils, a careful resection of the alar base and nostril reduction may be performed. The incision is designed at the base of the alae and lower alar groove. Under local anesthesia, a portion of the full-thickness tissue at the base of the alae is removed, followed by an inward rotation and advancement to reduce the nostrils. The wound is then closed in layers with interrupted sutures. The resulting scar is generally less than 1cm in length.

2. For those with wide alar margins, a portion of the free edge of the ala can be resected, and the incision is sutured on the inside of the ala.

3. For individuals with thick alae or overly full upper alar grooves but not enlarged nostrils, an incision is made along the anterior margin of the lateral crus of the alar cartilage. The skin is dissected from the underlying cartilage, and excess soft tissue is trimmed. Subsequently, a portion of the upper and lateral parts of the alar cartilage is resected. Inside the nostril, a rhomboid-shaped piece of vestibular skin and nasal mucosa is excised from the medial side of the alar base, along with redundant fat tissue. Finally, the incisions at the nostril margin and medial side of the alar base are sutured.

After rhinoplasty for wide noses, the scar length is typically less than 1cm.

If you touch your nose tip, you'll notice a depression between the alae and the tip, as indicated by the black dot in the image. This location may vary slightly among individuals, so locate it for yourself. Once found, you'll recognize it as the junction between the nasal cartilage and the bridge. To elevate your nose bridge naturally, gently pinch this area between your index finger and thumb and pull upwards along the bridge's direction.
