I'm Interested in Rhinoplasty, I Want a Smaller Nose. Can This Be Achieved? (photo)
I hate how my nose looks like. I always find myself shying away from taking pictures, because my nose ends up looking so big in pictures and I feel like I ruin the picture. I feel like it is a bit bulbous and I want the tip smaller. I found this app on my iphone that let me play around with my nose, to see how it would look like when it is smaller, and now I am in love. How much would it cost me for this? I want someone I can trust that doesnt charge me an arm & a leg. PLEASE help : )

Rhinoplasty to achieve a smaller nose
During the rhinoplasty procedure the nose tip can be refined and made less bulbous. The entire nose can be made smaller. It all depends on what types of techniques are performed during the rhinoplasty procedure to effect the change. The tip can certainly be narrowed and refined, and the bridge built up. Our fee for a rhinoplasty is $7,012. This includes the operating room, the anesthesia, and the surgeon’s fee for performing the surgery.

Rhinoplasty for a big nose
One of the most common reasons that I see patients for rhinoplasty is the reduction of nose size. Reduction of the nasal tip or dorsum is a very realistic and achievable goal. Depending on your location, surgery can range from 6-10K.

Your expectations seem reasonable and should be achieve able by an experienced plastic surgeon. You will likely get many different opinions and prices from different plastic surgeons, but it is worth going on a few consults. This will allow you to compare surgeons' work as well as prices. Once you do this you will probably find yourself better informed and your decision will,be easier. Good,luck!

Reduction rhinoplasty
Reducing the size of your nose can be done. The surgery is a complex and involved operation that requires anesthesia and an operating facility. There are costs involved with all of these. You should get several consultations so you can develop a feel for what the procedure would entail and it's costs and who you feel most comfortable with. Good luck.

Rhinoplasty and digital imaging
Although no plastic surgeon can promise you that you will look exactly like a computer generated digital image, the before and after photo results that you posted are possible. Depending on whether your procedure involves a tip only rhinoplasty or a complete rhinoplasty with nasal bone infracture, and whether the procedure is done under local or general anesthesia, costs can vary from $4,000 to $7,000. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who routinely performs rhinoplasty...

Rhinoplasty and Digital Imaging
Dear Jasmine,
I personally use a digital imaging computer with my consulting Rhinoplasty patients and it is very helpful in showing the patient the proposed surgical result. It would be helpful to have some profile photographs and more complete frontal shots however, I think the results you are looking for (per imaging) are very achievable with Rhinoplasty surgery. One thing I do when using the imaging computer is explain to the patient how and what needs to be done...

Rhinoplasty for Smaller Nose
A rhinoplasty can reduce the size of your nose and improve the definition and refinement so it is more proportional the the surrounding facial features. Over the past 35 years I've always enjoyed working on young people with realistic expectations.

I'm Interested in Rhinoplasty, I Want a Smaller Nose. Can This Be Achieved?
The before and after pictures IMHO aesthetically show a thinner more defined nasal tip which should be achievable with a Closed Rhinoplasty. Hope this helps.

Realistic rhinoplasty results
Jasmine:
It appears that your expectations are very realistic and in keeping with beautiful facial proportions.Your cost for a procedure of this nature would be in the range of $7,000 with a relatively rapid return to normal activities. You will want to look at pictures of patients who have achieved similar results as well as a 3-D imaging of your anticipated results which is availble in clinics where we do a significant amount of this type of surgery.

Morphing software can be an asset to understan wht you want. However, what is shown can not always be achieved. it is best to go for a consulation in person to be appropriately evaluated. Good luck!

Alarplasty and Tip Reduction Rhinoplasty
Dear Jasmine,
As a quick answer to your question, I believe that your goals are realistic and the morph software that generated the photos you have provided is used to approximate the potential final results.
That being said and based on incomplete photos (because of the stripes), it is hard to provide you with specific details.
Nonetheless, I believe that you could benefit the most from a tip deprojection and an alar base reduction and potentially a narrowing of the...

Rhinoplasty Goals.
My first thought after looking at your photos is that your nose does not "ruin the picture". That said, from what I can see from a nose surgeon's eye, the base of your nose and the tip are too wide in proportion to your mouth. You would want this proportion to be improved and the tip refined. I cannot see the rest of your nose in proportion to your face all that well in these photos. It seems to me that your goals for rhinoplasty are realistic and achievable. ...

Can this rhinoplasty result be achieved?
Thank you for your question and photos. It would appear that the results you are looking for could be achieved. However, final determination could only be made upon careful review of your wishes and a through internal and external examination of your nose. I would suggest several consultations with board certified plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons. Do not use price as a final determination as secondary or revisional rhinoplasty surgery is much more difficult and...

Rhinoplasty, Nose syrgery
From the posted photos, it appears that you would benefit from a reduction rhionoplasty with emphasis on addressing your bulbous tip. This is a routine request from many patients seeking reshaping their nose. I often perform this operation as out patient and under local anesthesia with some sedation. Average fee for this operation is $ 4000-6000. Choosing the qualified plastic surgeon is more important that finding the cheapest surgeon.

Absolutely
A smaller nose is possible with the 10K price tag. Make sure that you have a solid understanding of what your rhinoplasty includes!

Rhinoplasty for the bulbous tip, etc.
Your goals are realistic to have a rhinoplasty. Costs vary according to the skill of the surgeon and the area. $6500-10,000 is the range. Pick a surgeon who has a great deal of experience and noses he has done that you like. Don't shop price--having to have a revision is more costly!

Interested in Rhinoplasty and Getting a Smaller Nose
Dear Jasmine,
Having a nose that is too large is one of the most common complaints for people seeking rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty can help you obtain a nose that is smaller and more shapely. I would consult with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon.
Warmest wishes,
