What causes an uneven nose bridge?
An uneven or irregular nose bridge has visible or palpable bumps, dips or edges along the dorsum. It can be natural, follow an injury, or appear after a previous rhinoplasty where bone or cartilage healed unevenly.
Correction rasps down high points, fills low areas with diced cartilage or fascia, and makes sure the bones and middle vault meet smoothly, so light runs evenly down the bridge.

Uneven Nose Bridge in Seoul: your questions answered.
Can filler hide an uneven bridge?
Filler can soften small dips temporarily, but it does not remove bumps and can spread over time.
Is this a revision surgery?
If the unevenness followed a previous rhinoplasty, yes, and it is planned with revision principles.
Will the bridge be perfectly smooth?
The aim is a bridge that looks smooth in normal light and photos. Small irregularities may be felt by touch, especially with thin skin.
Do I need osteotomy?
Only if the bones are uneven or asymmetric. Many cases only need rasping and camouflage.
How long does it take to settle?
Most swelling on the bridge settles in a few months.
