What Causes a Flat Nasal Bridge?
A flat nasal bridge is often due to genetics and is most commonly seen in individuals of Asian, African, or Hispanic descent, as part of their natural facial anatomy. However, it can also result from:
- Trauma or Injury: Impact to the nose can cause a saddle-like deformity or collapse of the bridge.
- Congenital Conditions: Some patients may be born with a lower nasal bridge that impacts both aesthetics and function.
A flat bridge often leads to a flatter facial profile, reduced nasal definition, and a lack of depth. Beyond aesthetic concerns, a depressed nasal bridge can also result in narrow nasal passages, contributing to breathing difficulties or airflow obstruction.
Non-Surgical Treatment for Flat Nasal Bridge
For those with a mild flatness or depression on their nasal bridge, non-surgical treatments can be used to reshape the nose. Dermal filler injections can add volume to the bridge or fill in a slight depression on the bridge. This is ideal for those who want to “try on” a nasal bridge correction without committing to plastic surgery and do not have breathing issues related to their flat bridge.

Flat Nose Rhinoplasty
To create a higher nasal bridge to add more depth and balance to the face or to address narrow nasal airways, rhinoplasty is the best solution. The nasal bridge can be raised using a few different techniques, depending on how high the bridge needs to be lifted. Almost all flat or depressed bridge corrections will require stents, implants or cartilage grafts to add height to the nose and open the nasal passages for better breathing.
