Prosthetic rhinoplasty is a better option.

Prosthetic rhinoplasty is a common cosmetic surgical procedure that involves implanting medical-grade silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) materials into the nose to alter the height, width, or shape of the nasal bridge. This procedure offers advantages such as minimal trauma, simple carving, relatively low cost, and noticeable results.

However, all surgical procedures carry certain risks. Prosthetic rhinoplasty also has some drawbacks and potential complications, including a relatively long recovery period, significant pain, possible infections or deformities, and results that may not be long-lasting. Therefore, before deciding to undergo prosthetic rhinoplasty, it is important to fully understand the benefits and risks and to have a detailed consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. The surgeon will evaluate the feasibility of the surgery based on your individual nasal condition and expectations and will inform you of the potential risks and complications involved.

The postoperative recovery period is also very important. You should follow the surgeon's instructions, rest adequately, avoid strenuous activities, and refrain from touching the surgical site. Regular follow-up visits are necessary to ensure the surgical outcome and maintain health and safety, as well as to reduce the likelihood of postoperative complications.
