How to achieve a higher nasal bridge through cosmetic surgery

Generally, rhinoplasty procedures such as silicone implant augmentation, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) implant augmentation, autologous ear cartilage grafting, autologous rib cartilage grafting, and hyaluronic acid injection augmentation can be used to enhance nasal bridge height. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Silicone Implant Rhinoplasty

Silicone implant rhinoplasty involves making an incision at an appropriate location on the nose and implanting a pre-carved silicone implant beneath the nasal dorsum fascia or on the periosteum. The supporting force of the silicone implant increases nasal bridge height and creates the desired dorsal contour. The general reference price for this procedure is 3,000–10,000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically observed within 1–3 months, although symptoms such as localized redness and pain may occur.

2. Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) Implant Rhinoplasty

ePTFE implant rhinoplasty involves making an incision inside the nostrils or on the columella and implanting a precisely carved piece of ePTFE material onto the nasal dorsum. ePTFE has a microporous structure that allows tissue ingrowth, enabling the implant to integrate more closely with nasal tissues, thereby elevating the nasal bridge and improving nasal contour. The general reference price for this procedure is 8,000–20,000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically observed within 2–3 months, although complications such as infection or implant displacement may occur.

3. Autologous Ear Cartilage Grafting

Autologous ear cartilage grafting involves harvesting a suitable amount of ear cartilage from the ear, carving it precisely, and then transplanting it to the nasal tip and columella. The elasticity and moderate supportiveness of ear cartilage help shape the nasal tip and can be combined with implant augmentation to achieve a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The general reference price for this procedure is 10,000–20,000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically observed within 2–4 months, although symptoms such as pain and swelling may occur.

4. Autologous Rib Cartilage Grafting

Autologous rib cartilage grafting involves harvesting a segment of rib cartilage from an appropriate location on the chest, carving it meticulously, and implanting it into the nasal dorsum, tip, and columella. Rib cartilage provides sufficient strength and support, effectively shaping both nasal bridge height and nasal tip contour. The general reference price for this procedure is 20,000–50,000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically observed within 3–6 months, although symptoms such as pain and hypertrophic scarring may occur.

5. Hyaluronic Acid Injection Rhinoplasty

Hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty involves directly injecting an appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid into the subcutaneous or deep tissue of the nasal dorsum using a specialized syringe. Due to its strong water-retaining capacity, hyaluronic acid increases nasal tissue volume, rapidly elevating the nasal bridge and achieving nasal augmentation. The general reference price for this procedure is 1,000–5,000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically observed within 3–4 months, although symptoms such as localized swelling and bruising may occur.

It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo these procedures under the guidance of qualified physicians to ensure safety and effectiveness. Postoperative care includes maintaining nasal cleanliness, avoiding external impact, pressure, or rubbing, and applying cold or warm compresses as instructed by the physician.
