Nasal implant
INDEX
This procedure involves inserting a silicone prosthesis to elevate the height of the nasal bridge from the root of the nose. A defined nasal bridge creates a more pronounced and distinct facial profile.
We can also perform a CT scan beforehand to create a custom-made silicone prosthesis tailored to fit the individual’s bone and cartilage structure. For custom-made prostheses, it is possible to create a single-piece prosthesis extending from the glabella to the nasal bridge.

- I want a straight nose bridge.
- I want height from the bridge of the nose to the nasal ridge.
Features of Our Nasal Implants
After rhinoplasty, the refined nasal bridge creates a more defined facial profile.
A notable feature is that the distance between the eyes appears slightly narrower. For individuals with naturally wide-set eyes, inserting a nasal implant can sometimes improve the balance around the eyes.
Conversely, if the distance between the eyes is already close, inserting a nasal implant can sometimes make the eyes appear too close together. At our
clinic, our experienced doctors use their aesthetic judgment to make recommendations that consider the overall balance of the face.
Treatment Process
Design
Based on preoperative simulations and your ideal image, we will propose a nose shape that complements your facial features. We will also ensure ample time for design consultation on the day of surgery.
Anesthesia
It is performed under intravenous anesthesia or general anesthesia.
surgery
The surgery takes about one hour. Scars will be present inside the nasal cavity and partially on the columella, but these are inconspicuous areas.
