To Be or Rhinoplasty, That is the Question

Hi N, If you do not like the appearance of your nose, yes, rhinoplasty is the answer.  The question is who should perform your surgey?  Choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully.  In your case, the tip of your nose attracts too much focus.  A nice nose gets out of the way of your other facial features, the focus of your face should be your eyes. See below web reference for some typical rhinoplasty results.  Good luck and be well. Dr. P more

Rhinoplasty options

In your case, there are fairly straightforward surgical options for improving the appearance of your nose involving refinement of the tip and reducing the length of the nose. You will unfortunately not find a satisfactory non-surgical alternative for these problems.

Surgical nose job to correct a low nasal tip

The rhinoplasty operation is a fantastic operation to feminize, refine, and make the nose more symmetrical. Typically the cartilages are softened, feminized, defined, and adjusted to fit and balance with the remainder of the nose and facial features. Any dorsal hump is removed. The bony sidewalls can be narrowed if necessary. We do not recommend any injectables placed inside the nose because of the complications that have occurred with that.

Deciding on a rhinoplasty procedure

No one needs a rhinoplasty. However, if the nose is the most prominent feature of your face and is wider in proportion or longer than the rest of your face, then the procedure can not only restore balance to your face but also make it less obvious to others. Certainly, in the photo you provided it appears disproportionate to your face in width and perhaps in length as well but the decision should be yours and not on the advice of others.

Well-performed Rhinoplasty Surgery may improve the appearance of your bulbous, droopy tip.

I read your concern, and reviewed your photo. There is no non-surgical approach to elevate the tip of your nose that you feel is too low. Well performed rhinoplasty surgery may result in a narrower, rotated tip, and improvement in your appearance. Please consult several rhinoplasty specialists to determine what would be best for you. I hope this is helpful for you.

Tip Rhinoplasty Options

Your best answer will depend upon a surgeon analyzing your nose from a 180 degree perspective. Rhinoplasty is a sculptural operation and very dynamic in that the upper an lower parts of the nose should be balanced and the entire nose should be balanced to 'fit' your face. When you sit face to face with a surgeon you will be able to say what you are looking for and he/she will be able to tell you if that goal can be reasonably met.
