Flat or depressed bridge rhinoplasty is a specialized form of nose reshaping that enhances the appearance of a flat or low nasal bridge, improving both structure and balance. A flat or depressed nasal bridge can create a lack of definition in the nose and affect the harmony of the face. At GK Plastic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. George Kamel uses advanced rhinoplasty techniques to raise and refine the nasal bridge, providing patients with a contoured, elevated profile that complements their facial features.
Dr. Kamel’s expertise in nasal bridge augmentation allows him to tailor each procedure, whether adding volume, reshaping contours, or addressing functional concerns. This precision ensures that each correction aligns naturally with the patient’s face, enhancing both aesthetics and self-confidence.

Dr. George Kamel came highly recommended by one of my coworkers and After meeting him I understood why… Very genuine & professional ! Let’s just say you won’t be disappointed with the results. I absolutely love my new tatas. He is the Best of the Best. Ladies, he’s really easy on the eyes too… And the office staff were super helpful and very nice!“Erin P.
What Causes a Flat or Depressed Nasal Bridge?
A flat nasal bridge can result from genetic traits, previous trauma, or developmental factors. Many individuals seek rhinoplasty to enhance definition and create a more structured nasal bridge, which can harmonize their facial proportions.
Common Causes of a Depressed Nasal Bridge:
Genetics
Many patients naturally inherit a flat or low nasal bridge, which may lack definition.
Injury or Trauma
Previous injury can impact nasal structure, leading to a depressed or uneven bridge.
Developmental Factors
In some cases, nasal cartilage and bone may develop with less prominence, resulting in a flattened appearance.
Understanding the underlying cause of a depressed bridge helps Dr. Kamel plan the most effective surgical approach, ensuring each augmentation aligns with the patient’s desired outcome.
Benefits of Depressed Bridge Rhinoplasty: Elevate and Enhance Your Natural Features

Advantages of Flat or Depressed Bridge Rhinoplasty:
Enhanced Nasal Definition
Elevating a flat bridge provides structure, creating a defined nasal shape that balances with facial features.
Natural Contours
By adding volume and shape, the procedure enhances the nose’s contours, avoiding an overly artificial appearance.
Improved Facial Proportions

Bridge Augmentatio
n Using cartilage grafts (often from the septum or ear) or implants, Dr. Kamel elevates the bridge, creating a smooth, structured contour.
Contouring and Final Adjustments
After augmentation, Dr. Kamel ensures the new bridge contours align harmoniously with the patient’s facial profile, enhancing symmetry.
The entire procedure typically lasts several hours, with Dr. Kamel providing personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
