Who is a candidate for a nose implant?
It suits patients with a low or flat bridge who want more definition.
Patients who prefer to avoid implants can consider autologous cartilage.
- Low or flat nasal bridge
- Bridge that looks short between the eyes
- Healthy, sufficiently thick skin
- Desire for a defined but natural profile
- No active infection in the nose
