What can be done about a flat nasal bridge?
Disease description:
I've always felt that my nasal bridge is too flat. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel that my face lacks dimension due to the flat nasal bridge. I'm really troubled by this and would like to ask everyone if there are any good methods to improve the appearance of a flat nasal bridge.

A collapsed nasal bridge, referred to as a low nasal bridge or saddle nose deformity, refers to underdevelopment of the nasal bones and cartilage, resulting in a flat or concave nasal appearance. This condition may be caused by congenital factors, genetics, trauma, or certain diseases.
1. Cosmetic improvement: Using makeup techniques such as dark contour powders and highlighters can visually improve the appearance of a flattened nasal bridge. This method is simple and quick, but the effects are not permanent and require skillful makeup application.
2. Daily care: Nasal bridge collapse caused by conditions such as sinusitis requires active treatment of the underlying disease, for example with medications like Qianbo Rhinitis Tablets or Tongqiao Rhinitis Capsules, to improve nasal health, which may help alleviate the nasal bridge deformity to some extent.
3. Dermal filler injections: Suitable for mild to moderate nasal bridge collapse, this method involves injecting fillers such as hyaluronic acid into the nasal bridge to improve its contour. The effects typically last from 6 months to 2 years.
4. Autologous fat transfer: Fat is harvested from other areas of the patient's body and then injected into the nasal bridge to reshape it. This method offers longer-lasting results, but carries certain risks.
5. Septoplasty: If the collapse is caused by a deviated septum, correcting the septum can improve the nasal bridge shape.
6. Rhinoplasty: This includes implanting silicone prosthetics, autologous cartilage, or bone to increase nasal bridge height.
