Can a Plastic Surgeon Remove Skin During Rhinoplasty? Can a plastic surgeon remove skin during rhinoplasty to make it narrow? If yes, does it look abnormal? Are there are any risks?

A: Skin Excision During Rhinoplasty

An interesting question. Skin excision during rhinoplasty is NOT a common part of the procedure. It would be important to know where your surgeon plans to excise the skin from to comment. Your preoperative photos and an internal and external examination are necessary.

Exact Rhinoplasty Procedure for Bulbous Tip? Is there an exact Rhinoplasty procedure for round nose tip or a bulbous one? Thanks a lot again.

A: Bulbous tip

The technique necessary varies from patient to patient and can include:

-removal of intraalar fat/fibrous tissue

-interalar mattress sutures

-reection of cephalic aspect of lower lateral cartilages

-columellar strut grafting, tip definition grafting and thining of the subdermal tissue (closed rhinoplasty is very important for the safety of this maneuver

All the best,

Correcting Nose to Lip Angle and Bulbous Tip How to correct acute nose to lip angle and bulbous tip at same time? My nose and lip angle is approximately 70 degrees and I have a bulbous tip with a large base. I am an Indian so I have thick skin, I guess.

What would be the best possible way of correcting all the 3 faults together, while keeping in mind the skin thickness? Can nose to lip angle change only by trimming the septum or is there any other way to do so?

A: Correcting nasolabial angle and bulbous tip

It is difficult to say without pictures, but with my experience in ethnic noses with thick skin a different approach is indicated. The bulbous tip is corrected by performing a cephalic trim of your lower lateral cartilage and suture techniques, but a satisfactory result in an ethnic nose also usually requires a hearty columellar strut to support the tip, change the nasolabial angle and provide appropriate columellar show. I hope this helps!

All the best!

	“Rhinoplasty - Miami, FL” This review is going to be long...but I trolled this website a lot before deciding to do my procedure so I hope it helps you as much as it helped me!

	“Results Are Greats, Lots of...” I had a bump in my nose that really bothered me and I wanted to get it fixed. My mom’s doctor recommended me to Dr. Bustillo.

He was very realistic about my nose problem and he gave me options. He was super nice and... more
	“I Would Recommend to Others - Coral...” Doctor Bustillo is very hands on and friendly. He demonstrated how he was going to do the procedure and make it look natural. I liked the before and after pictures that he showed me because I could tell that he always went for a very natural look. He even made sure to call me before and after the surgery every several days. My nose is still a little swollen but it is straighter and I can... more

	“My Rhinoplasty Experience- Painfree...” I just had my rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and I am more than happy with my experience and the results. First of all, I was expecting this to be a very painful procedure, but suprisingly it was not painful at all, just slightly uncomfortable at times. I must admit I was a bit nervous going into the procedure but the staff made me feel very secure and comforted me. When I got home from my... more
	“My rhinoplasty experience was great...” After years of wanting to repair a previously broken nose, I finally made the decision to move forward with rhinoplasty. After a lot of research, I found an outstanding surgeon in Miami with a great reputation. I had an initial consultation where he had a lot of photos of past patients. This was a departure from other surgeons that could not show me a lot of sample photos. I also met some of... more
	“Rhinoplasty Exceeded my Expectations” I had rhinoplasty to define my nose (to get a more chiseled nose). I also had a droop in my nose below the tip that I wanted to correct. After the consultation, a slight bump in profile was discovered, which was also corrected. On the scale of rhinoplastys' it was not a major procedure, but a procedure focused more on tip work and definition. I experienced very little pain, except slight... more

	“Awesome Rhinoplasty Experience (35...” Miami, FL - A little bit of a background, and then I will tell you about my incredible experience. I am a 35 year old man, who has lived a lifetime with a horribly huge nose. My whole life it has plagued me, made self-conscious, etc., and a few months ago I decided that I had had enough. I began searching for plastic surgeons online, and narrowed my list down to about a half dozen. From... more
	“Poor Mending Job” Sigh. I'm not happy w/how my nose is morphing and I regret not doing more research on the PS. In my 2nd visit, I told the PS my concerns & that I was not happy that he did not do what I had requested & thought we agreed on the procedures. I got the Oper Report and he surprisingly wrote that I was happy with the outcome.Overall: Bad experience.I have 4 small visible holes on the sides... more

The right side of my nose is drooping and my right nostril is much larger and a completly different shap than my left nostril.I said something about it as soon as I saw it hours sfter surgery and every day since the surgery. Everyone in the Dr's office says it's too soon to tell or they say that its... more

I am happy with the results except for the hole inside my nose.I have a hole inside my nostril but it does not go through. Is this septal perforation? Will it heal on its own? What can i do to help it heal? Also, I feel as if I have a stuffy nose all the time now, is this normal? more
	“Different Looking Nostrils” I put my trust in a Dr and had a few procedures they all came out messed up but my nose is really bothering me because its on my face.

	“Uneven Nostril Blues Please Help.” Pros of rhinoplasty= the idea of having long term satisfaction, virtually painless, and low complications.Cons of rhinoplasty= uncertainty of projected outcome,down time, swelling, breathing through mouth at first, irritating splint and taping, suture removal.I did this procedure because i have always considered myself a very beautiful women but i wanted small refinement, i believe there is... more
