Ethnic Rhinoplasty to Refine Nose?
I was wondering if my nose could be refined and contoured in a natural looking way. I had been told from my previous post that septal cartilage would be best then ear and rib would be use for augmentation.(Is septal cartilage enough) Judging from the photo i like to know if my nose can be refined and fits well with the face. Also can you explain in detail what procedure is best? My ideal nose would be celebrity Collin Farrell kind of.

Ethnic rhinoplasty
On a virgin nose there is usually enough septal cartilage to refine and augment the bridge. If you have a cartilage-depleted nose from prior surgery, then it is important to use ear cartilage or rib cartilage.

Rhinoplasty and ethnicity
You shoudl have realistic expectations from rhinoplasty. If you need dorsal height, you may not get enough from septal cartilage. Rib cartilage may be better. As for looking like someone else, I wouldn't bet on it. You have very thick skin and if I remember Colin Farrell is European and with thin skin which allows for better definition of the tip. Your thick skin probably wouldn't allow for that.

Ethnic rhinoplasty.
Yes, cartilage from the septum and or ear can be done and give you a more refined nose. One however, cannot make a perfect nose if there is such a thing since it is subjective.
