Crooked Nose - Nose Implant Possible? Hi. I have a broken nose from a fight one and a half years ago. Luckily, the cartilage tip etc. is all intact, however the bone itself is not fitting straight and is going to one of the sides, which brings the cartlage etc. with it. It wont fit, they tried 2 times, it still goes to one of the sides. Is it possible to "cut" the bone in half, attach a implant to the top part in order to make it fit with the lower part of my "forehead" where the break is or whatever its called. Can anyone do this?

A: Implant for crooked nose

While nasal implants are possible, it is best to use the patient’s own cartilage when possible. If the nose has been completely depleted of cartilage, ear cartilage would be the next best choice. It is important to have full osteotomies of the nasal bones with realignment of the nasal pyramid to give symmetric dorsal aesthetic lines. Look for a surgeon who has lots of experience and has dedicated his practice to rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty before embarking on this difficult endeavor.

Big Nose And Hollow Eyes - What Do I Do? I have REALLY hollow eyes and a big nose (just my luck!). I was wondering if there are surgeons that would do fat transfers and a nose job all in one day. If not, what do you think would be the best thing to do. The nose job first or the eyes? I was thinking that making a drastic change with the nose may cause a lot of extra skin... effecting the eye area.

A: Big nose and hollow eyes

We do not recommend fat injections around the eyes due to the poor results we have seen from other practices with this procedure. Rhinoplasty should not create any extra skin effecting the eye area. Typically, rhinoplasty is done under general anesthesia and takes approximately an hour and a half to perform.

What Rhinoplasty Options do I Have that Would make Nose Less Dominant on my Face? (photo) i think i'm a good candidate for rhinoplasty but i'm in need advice one what i need done to make nose look much less dominant over face!

A: Rhinoplasty to decrease dominance of nose on the face

With rhinoplasty, multiple goals can be achieved; decreasing the overall projection of the nose, narrowing and refinement of the tip, hump removal, and the narrowing of the nasal bones. Any alar flaring can be reduced through an alarplasty procedure. The rhinoplasty is done under general anesthesia and the average cost for a rhinoplasty is approximately $7000, which includes operating room, anesthesia, and surgeon’s fee.
