Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionDo I Have an Aesthetically Ideal Nose for a Female? (photo)
I have, for some reason, been focusing on my nose lately. I sometimes feel like it would be considered large. If I were a patient coming to your office, would you suggest changing it in any way? Or would you tell me that it's fine the way it is and not worth the surgery?

Leave it alone
Hi,
You are a beautiful woman and your nose is perfectly fine so leave it alone! This impression is based on these photos. My opinion may be different in person after examining you or if you had better photos but at least based on these, dont waste your time and dont take fruitless risks.

Ideal Nose and Rhinoplasty
Hello,
You have a very well-proportioned and aesthetically pleasing nose. If you were to come into my office with this question I would not recommend a rhinoplasty. However, before meeting with a rhinoplasty surgeon I would suggest spending a little more time focusing on what features of your nose trouble you.
In general, patients that are happy after surgery tend to be ones with specific complaints that are correctable with rhinoplasty. ...

Can't fix perfection!
Half my staff want's your nose, the other half wants your eyes. I think your nose and face are in nice balance. Could you refine the tip and deproject the nose slightly, yeah. However, you look great. I just don't see this as being worth the risk and expense. You have to decide for yourself. If you wanted to play with the idea a little more computer imaging at a surgeon's office might be helpful to you.
Best of luck

Do I need a rhinoplasty?
Hi there,
This a really interesting question, and one which deserves a contextual answer. I fear that the answers will only generally add to your confusion, but you've taken the risk of asking it, so here goes:
Your question is a "does my ass look big in this" question. As a surgeon, it doesn't leave us with a method of answering you that has no risk! If we say "yes your nose is large" then we may add to your concern or distress. Or...

Thoughts
Beauty can be described and looked at in many ways. First and foremost YOU need to be the deciding person. Are you un-happy with your nose? Are you that unhappy that you are willing to permanently alter it? A good surgeon will talk WITH you about procedures, not FOR you. If you are seeking more information regarding the rhinoplasty surgery itself then I would suggest seeing a doctor and talking about it. See if they can morph your nose with you. But again, please make sure you are willing to...

Rhinoplasty opinion
There is nothing wrong with your nose. It is not too large and you are a nice looking lady. Noses that need work are generally pretty obvious.

Ideal feminine nose.
There is no such thing! There are many beautiful noses that have common structure and in Western civilization don't have bumps. If you are happy with it leave it alone!

Rhinoplasty
Your facial structure and proportion is quite attractive. A case could be made that you have a little overprojection but if you were my patient I would ask you to think long and hard about undergoing surgery. Most patients would be happy to have your nose as a postop result. We have a saying in plastic surgery that "The enemy of good is better" meaning if you have something that looks good and try to make it look better you have more to lose than to gain. Hope that helps.

Video imaging is a great way to see how you would look after a rhinoplasty.
Aesthetic rhinoplasty is a totally elective procedure. There are mathematical standards of beauty but, in the end, beauty is also subjective. I would suggest you go to a good plastic surgeon and have video imaging done to give you and idea how you would look after the operation.

Do I Have an Aesthetically Ideal Nose for a Female?
Aesthetically, your nose is Ok but not ideal. The tip is over projected and a bit wide as is the nasal bridge. This is exaggerated by the weak chin. You may want to have a consultation with an experieneced Rhinoplasty Surgeon that understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty.
