Nose Bridge

Overview

A low or broad nose bridge may cause the eyes to look further apart than they actually are, creating a flat profile. If the nasal bridge is not straight, a person may appear too strong or masculine, or more mature than she or he is. Furthermore, it may induce breathing difficulties, rhinitis, or other nasal discomfort.

A nasal deformity is an anomaly in the structure and appearance of the nose that causes breathing difficulties, reduced sense of smell, and other issues.

Patients with nasal deformities are more likely to snore and breathe loudly, have nosebleeds, dry mouth, chronic sinusitis (inflammation of the sinus passages), and get sinus infections. These problems are frequently accompanied with dissatisfaction with the shape and appearance of the nose.
