Male Rhinoplasty Inquiry. Please Assess My Nose in Terms of Symmetry, Bottom Tip and Profile? (photo)

I am a thirty year old male and based on the attached pictures (I apologize for the initial poor quality images), I am interested on an assessment of my nose in terms of symmetry, the bottom tip and the side profile. My main motivation is to straighten out my nose while ensuring the masculine features are preserved and a very natural look is maintained. The procedure sounds a bit involved. Also, does the seven to ten day recovery seem reasonable to be presentable enough to be in public?

Rhinoplasty

Hello, thank you for your question. As you may know the nose has both a functional and aesthetic component to evaluate for rhinoplasty. My first question would be to ask you how your breathing is through one nostril compared to the other. On your pictures it appears you may have a deviated septum which would be addressed at the time of surgery. From an aesthetic standpoint, I agree it is important to maintain you masculinity and facial harmony. Most definitely a natural appearance is desired... more

Male Rhinoplasty Assessment

You do have a deviated asymmetrical bridge and dorsum with a large hump and asymmetrical tip. A natural, strong, well defined male nose with improved breathing can be achieved when the surgery is performed by an experienced rhinoplasy surgeon. You will feel comfortable in public 7-10 days after surgery.

Male Rhinoplasty Inquiry. Please Assess My Nose in Terms of Symmetry, Bottom Tip and Profile?

Aestheically speaking, from the photos provided, the nose has a large dorsal hump with wide nostrils and a thick nasal tip that is at ~ 105 degrees of rotation. A Closed Rhinoplasty to reduce the hump and thin the nasal tip would address these issues. Hope this helps.

Male Rhino.Plz Assess Nose (Symmetry, Bottom Tip and Profile?) #nosesurgery

It is so important that you find a board certified nasal surgeon to discuss this delicate surgery. Pictures are always very limited in that nothing is better than actually seeing the nose live to really assess it. It is important to obtain history to find out if you have had trauma or have breathing issues because those might need to be addressed. It is so important to keep the nose looking masculine yet addressing the issues that worry you. I know how hard of a decision this is because I... more

Rhinoplasty

Your posted photos are so tightly bracketed that they are of limited use in any assessment. The only thing I can definitely see is a hump on top of the bridge. Taking down the hump will not feminize your nose. As long as you keep the pyramidal/triangular shape of the nose without over narrowing the bridge and do not raise the tip too much you should not feminize the nose. 7 to 10 recovery is reasonable but not guaranteed. Bruising is greatest when there is an infracture and it is unclear... more

Your Rhinoplasty

Redefining your dorsum (bridge), mid-nose width & asymmetry, supratip & nasal tip while considering the length of your nose (maybe slightly shorter) will help bring natural harmony to your appearance! Please seek an experienced Cosmetic Surgeon.

Assessment Of A Male Nose With Irregularities

Hello, Based on the photos you have provided, a well planned rhinoplasty with a a multifaceted approach will eliminate your nasal irregularities and possible breathing issues you may be heaving. It seems that you may have a deviated septum and so a septa-rhinoplasty is required in this case through which the nasal bump will also be addressed and a straighter nose will be achieved. As for the over-projected nasal tip, a tip reduction/modification will best fit your... more

Thank you very much for the feedback and for providing very astute observations. I also went to an ENT yesterday and after he examined my nose, it was confirmed that I have a deviated septum and a large turbonite on one side. My breathing has always been affected and I usually feel like my nose is always stuffed. He recommended I see a surgeon that is also an ENT to inquire about a septorhinoplasty to accomplish some of the corrections the two of you have mentioned. I would think in general insurance would cover the septoplasty but not the rhinoplasty portion as a result of the aesthetic and functional purposes of each procedure. I am pretty pleased to have learned that these types of procedures are available.

Is the recovery longer for septoplasty? My understanding is that some type of device is left in the nose for one to three weeks. Also, with regard to the osteotomy, I assume the breaking of bone or perforating inside the nose may lead to a little more bruising.
