Find someone who specializes in Rhinoplasty

Andrew Miller, MD answers: Rhinoplasty advice?

I was thinking about having Rhinoplasty done in order to decrease the width of my nose. Right now, it's a too wide. I would also like to change the shape of it. I was wondering if you could give me some information about how this could be done regarding my specific case. I also have some acne problems that i have kept under control until recently. Can this effect the surgery? Is there special precaution that needs to be taken to those with acne problems?

The thickness and large size of your nose can make your case very difficult. Some surgeons may try to remove to much cartilage in order to make it smaller, which in turn will not support the skin envelope and deformities will result. It is extremely important to find a surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty (not just plastic surgery in general), so you may be examined fully and proper expectations can be instilled. I think you can certainly have a nice improvement, though. Good luck.
