Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Are These Results Achievable? (photo)
My nose had been broken from the age of about three, it's not huge but it's wonky and needs sides shaving down and more definition. i really like lindsey lohan's nose (though i don't want or expect to look like her), but don't know if i'm being unrealistic. Is this possible to repair and change my nose this much, even if it makes me look like a completely different person? Thanks!

Rhinoplasty Goals
Thank you for the question and your photo. This brings up a very important topic, and one that must be covered in your consultation. Your specific aesthetic goals and specific soft tissue characteristics will determine the approach that you select with your rhinoplasty expert. Based on the photos alone, it seems that you are interested in reducing the size or bulbosity of your tip, and narrowing the middle portion of your nose. These are both achievable results. Again, every nose is...

Rhinoplasty may improve your appearance
Rhinoplasty has the potential to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose. It is important for you to have computer imaging of your nose to show you what can realistically be obtained.

Are these results achievable?
You certainly could get nice refinement to your tip and bridge with rhinoplasty. I think it would be best for you to have a consult with computer imaging so you could see how these changes look on your face and not picture someone else's in your mind. If what you see pleases you then you will feel good about going forward.

Bulbous tip a wide nose
A rhinoplasty would be required to reduce the bulbous tip and narrow the bridge line. Tip suturing techniques and a conservative removal of tip cartilage would be required to refine the tip and reduce the bulbousness. Osteotomies are required to narrow the nasal bones and corresponding upper lateral cartilages. Any other adjustments along the dorsum could be done as well.

Rhinoplasty result
WIthout an exam in person, it is very difficult to say what could be achieved for you. More definition is probably possible.

#rhinoplasty results
From your photo, it appears that you would be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. However, it is impossible to get "someone else's nose." I think imaging in a consultation would be very helpful to establish operative goals to help you communicate with your surgeon. Your surgeon, must also feel comfortable that the results are achievable in surgery.
You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a formal opinion through and in-person consultation...

Rhinoplasty expectations
Hello 'Matilda24', thanks for your question. A cosmetic rhinoplasty is one of the more challenging procedures performed in plastic surgery because there are so many different and inter-related factors that affect the final result. Rather than dealing with just soft tissue as in a facelift or breast augmentation, a rhinoplasty also entails trimming and sculpting the underlying bone and cartilage support framework. In addition, the thickness of the nasal skin varies...

Rhinoplasty Goals Tip and Dorsum
If your goals are to reduce the size of your tip and the dorsal width, rhinoplasty would be a good option. Although no two skin envelopes are the same and skin thickness varies quite a bit, achieving a nose that looks more like the goal is reasonable. Find a board certified plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties a year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
