Would I Be a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty? (photo)
My nose is bulbous, over projected, and wide. I'm unhappy with the its appearance, especially while I'm smiling. 1. What can be done to correct the droopiness and wide appearance of my nose while smiling? My nose needs a lot of tip work. 2. Is there any way to prevent the pinched tip look while still removing the right amount of cartilage? 3. Overall am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty? Thanks!

Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
The best candidate for rhinoplasty is someone who has identifiable problems with their nose that bother them and there are clear cut ways to make those problems better. In the case of a bulbous tip and dorsal hump, these are problems that are well addressed by a skilled rhinoplasty surgeon and can generated an amazing transformation of a patient's over all look.

bulbous tip rhinoplasty candidate
the bulbous tip is best treated with a combination of cartilage removal and suturing of the left and right lower lateral cartilage is together to feminize and refine the tip of the nose. Osteotomies are performed for narrowing the nasal bones. His this will also help with narrowing the nose upon smiling. Releasing the depressor septi ligament will help with the drooping tip one smiling as well

Subtle refinement would be best
Chloe, You have a very attractive face and I would not recommend drastic changes to your nose. I do however feel that subtle changes would be appropriate
Your nose has a little too much width of both the bridge and tip. Conservative
thinning of these structures and slight tip elevation would be best . This would give a more sculpted look and refinement rather than reshape

You are an attractive woman with nicely balanced facial form and features, overall.
Your nasal tip, unlike the rest of your facial features, lacks definition, and as a result, is more obvious to you.

Bulbous Tip and Rhinoplasty
The bulbous nature of the nose can be improved as well as overall width of the nose. The tip can be elevated, and the tip depression when smiling can be reduced with muscle release.

Rhinoplasty
I think you would be a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Based on your photographs and desires, surgery to reshape the tip of your nose could achieve your goals. A variety of surgical maneuvers to modify the cartilage of the tip of the nose and the septum are required to do this. This would refine your tip and raise the tip of your nose so that it did not appear droopy. Infracture of your nose may also be required to give the nose better balance after the tip is...
