The description of a nasal bridge appearing splayed does not always refer to the same underlying condition. In one patient, a broad nasal tip and bridge were documented alongside drooping and deviation, while in another patient, residual filler in the glabella and granulation tissue on the bridge were identified. It is important to review both the wide appearance in the photos and the clinical findings documented beneath them.
In this case collection, you can compare not only the width from the front view, but also the tilt of the nasal tip and the surface texture of the glabella and bridge. In particular, for revision rhinoplasty articles, look at both the removal of previously placed materials and how the nasal bones or cartilages were addressed during this surgery. Even when patients desired a similarly slim impression, the starting points identified during surgery were different.

Following prior surgeries, a bulbous and drooping long nose with an excessively high radix and nasal obstruction was corrected using a closed approach. Scar tissue debridement, osteotomy, nasolabial angle correction, and septoplasty were performed concurrently.
Preoperative condition
A case of correcting a short, upturned nasal tip and a pinched nostril caused by congenital septal cartilage weakness. Autologous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the septum and lower lateral cartilage, combined with lowering the nostril rim and lateral osteotomy.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A revision rhinoplasty case where the septum was depleted due to excessive cartilage use in prior surgeries. The septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, a cartilage fragment on the bridge was removed, and silicone implant replacement was combined with osteotomy.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
Septal cartilage damaged from previous surgeries was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the lower lateral cartilages were restored. Lateral osteotomy and rhinitis surgery were performed concurrently to correct the crooked nose and nostril asymmetry.
Preoperative condition
Through a closed approach, a nose that became low, upturned, and showed excessive nostril exposure after silicone implant removal was refined using autologous rib cartilage tip extension, nasal bridge height restoration, and correction of the nasolabial angle to 90 degrees.
Preoperative condition
A blunt, pug-like nose, retracted columella, and wide nasal bridge were transformed into a slim, three-dimensional profile using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, columellar lowering, lateral osteotomy, and cartilage reduction with suturing.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A drooping nasal tip and crooked dorsal hump caused by small lower lateral cartilages were refined through autologous rib cartilage support reinforcement, lateral osteotomy, a silicone implant, and nasolabial angle correction.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
For a patient who wanted primary rhinoplasty without artificial implants, lateral osteotomy was performed to straighten the deviated nasal bones, and donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage were used to reinforce the bridge and reshape the nasal tip.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
To correct the residual deviated nasal bone, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction remaining after a previous silicone rhinoplasty, the existing implant was removed and lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, and septoplasty were performed.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A case of minimally correcting a deviated, small, and thin septum, then refining a wide nasal bridge and bulbous tip using lateral osteotomy, a custom-carved silicone implant, and autologous rib cartilage tip plasty.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
After double-jaw surgery weakened the septum, the nose became lower and wider; we reinforced it through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and completed a smooth profile using a customized silicone implant.
Preoperative condition
For a nose showing cartilage show-through through thinned skin, a widened nasal bridge, and nasal obstruction 7 years after surgery, autologous dermis reinforcement, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, lateral osteotomy, and septoplasty were performed.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
For capsular contracture, septal damage, and asymmetric nasal bones following previous surgery, the implant and capsule were removed, and septal reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and nasal bridge augmentation with autologous rib cartilage were performed.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
In a case where residual artificial dermis from a previous procedure formed a dorsal hump and weakened the septal support, the artificial dermis was dissected and removed, lateral osteotomy and dorsal hump reduction were performed, the nasal tip was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the silicone implant was replaced.
Preoperative condition
A case of an upturned nose and widened bridge caused by dermal graft absorption. After removing nasal filler placed 2 years ago, a straight bridge line was established through septal extension, alar rim lowering, and correction of the depressed dorsum.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
Foreign materials that had widened the glabella along with the previous implant were removed, and the upturned nose was corrected through partial septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and nasolabial angle adjustment.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
Correction of a residual dorsal hump and excessive nostril show 17 years after hump surgery using residual filler removal, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.
Preoperative condition
A wide, blunt nasal bridge, drooping nasal tip, and retracted columella were corrected into a slim, three-dimensional profile using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle correction, and nostril sill reduction.

No, it is not. In one original record, prior filler remnants were documented as the reason the glabella appeared high and splayed, and granulation tissue from a chronic foreign body reaction was noted on an uneven nasal bridge. Another case describes the width and asymmetry of both the nasal tip and bridge. Rather than determining the cause solely from the width seen in photos, it is important to review the examination and surgical findings of each case.
Look at the documented nasal tip drooping, columella, and deviation. In one case, in addition to the splayed bridge and deviated nose on the front view, a drooping tip on the profile view and a retracted columella in the nostril view were described. This helps to see which areas were addressed together to change the wide appearance.
