How to build up the bridge with rhinoplasty

Many of our Houston rhinoplasty and ethnic rhinoplasty patients who have a low bridge will want to augment the bridge of their nose to create better definition and lines to the nose. Every rhinoplasty surgeon may have different techniques and use different materials to augment the bridge of the nose. Dr. Funk usually prefers utilizing cartilage from your own septum, ear or rib cartilage as this is most natural and rarely gets infected or extrudes. Cadaver rib cartilage may also be used as a dorsal augmentation graft.
