Nose types
Wide nasal dorsum
The width of the nasal dorsum is a frequent reason for consultation. For both women and men it is important for the nasal “bridge” to have the right width.
Narrowing the nasal dorsum may be the only reason for surgery or, more often, one more goal among all the changes to the nose that the patient wants.
At the consultation, the bony and cartilaginous width of the bridge is assessed, along with its relationship to the forehead and tip, and whether the widening is symmetrical or asymmetrical. That reading determines whether dorsum remodelling alone is enough or whether osteotomies or other associated steps are needed.
Narrowing aims for a more defined dorsal line without over-narrowing the airway or creating irregularities visible under the skin. Skin thickness and the quality of support influence how the result is perceived.
When a wide dorsum coexists with a hump, deviation or a wide tip, the plan often combines several corrections in one operation to keep the overall harmony.
