Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty if I Like my Nose on Frontal, Laterals, but Not Oblique Views? (photo)

I divided my nose in 5 views: Frontal, 2 laterals and 2 inclined. For me it seems perfect on the frontal view, both laterals, but not the obliques. A minor hump appears that way. I've seen the end results of many rhinoplasties for humps and I wouldn't like that results for me. The space between my lips and nose would increase and my facial harmony would be compromised. I guess I just hav continuity issues. I don't like the idea of general anesthesia for what I consider an 8/10 nose.

Rhinoplasty

It is hard to comprehensively assess your nose from the photo you have posted.

Candidate for Rhinplasty

You should have your nose imaged so you can see what your nose will look like after surgery. Best, Dr.S. see video

Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

In the one picture I see it looks like you have a small hump. The rest of your nose cannot be evaluated but it looks like you would benefit from a limited rhinoplasty. The procedure including anesthesia would be discussed in consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist.
