Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty doctors

Dear Ontario friend;

I do not know if you are in Ontario, Canada or Ontario, California, but wherever you are, I think rhinoplasty is a good idea.  Your entire nose is a bit wide.  You are correct in saying the bridge is wide and, certainly, the tip is wide and bulbous.  My sense is that you could be helped.  You have other facial features that are fabulous.

Of course, you do not want a "narrow, pinched look" that  does not happen by accident.  It happens because the surgeon's judgment is imperfect.  Over-removal of bone and cartilage is performed.  So, make sure that you remind your cosmetic plastic surgeon that you do not expect to look like you have had an overdone nose job.  As a matter of fact, you do not want to look like you have had a nose job at all!  The best rhinoplasty surgeries never call attention to themselves. 

With respect to your comment that your nose, "swells in cold, heat, or with allergies," I do not know if you are referring to the outside or the inside airway.  If that is inside your nose, then, the nasal surgeon will look at the turbinates and other internal structures to see if there is some way to improve that. 

In any event, I wish you good luck and would certainly encourage you to pursue consultations for rhinoplasty, which remains one of the great cosmetic surgeries.

  I would guess that different Rhinoplasty Surgeons use different stitches.  I use dissolvable stitches for all closed Rhinoplasty and even in the front for open Rhinoplasties, so nothing has to be removed.

The success of the revision rhinoplasty for the crooked nose depends on the skill and experience of the surgeon. It is not normally risky and should be possible to end up with a straighter nose.
