Rhinoplasty candidate

Certainly a rhinoplasty can help improve the tip and the length of the nose. But, you must go for a consult to get the appropriate evaluation.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Nose Job?

I have performed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and photos would help in the evaluation of your nose. The most important factor in selecting a plastic and cosmetic surgeon, including a Rhinoplasty Surgeon, is their ability to understand and follow the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty.

Should I have my nose done?

Hi Colin, Thank you for writing. It sounds as though you would be a perfect candidate for a rhinoplasty. You would need to contact surgeons to have a consultation for you to fully see how they may be able to help.

There is no way to know this without a photo and even then a face to face examination will still be required. I cannot understand why you would post the question like bait and then say "email me and I will happily send you a picture to help you answer the question". Is this a privacy issue?
