Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Should I Get a Nose Job? (photo)
I have wanted a nose job since I was about 12- I kind of thought it was all in my head but I few people have told me I have a big nose- would it look better/be worth it to get a nose job? I recently had several molars removed and did braces which changed the shape of my face- but my nose seems to still be rather large for my face.

Should You Get A Nose Job?
Thank you for your question. As others have stated that is a decision that you will have to make yourself. No Plastic Surgeon should tell you that you need an elective cosmetic operation.
All we can do is tell you whether an improvement is possible. From your photos I would say that the size of your nose can be reduced and the tip of your nose refined. Good luck with your decision.

Should I get a rhinoplasty?
This is a personal question but if your nose bothers you it is indeed possible to change the shape and refine your features a bit. I would refine the tip and narrow the dorsum. It should be relatively easy to get you a very nice result. Best, Dr K

Rhinoplasty
You appear to have a wide tip to your nose. Medically we call that a bulbous tip. It is certainly normal to have a wide tip and most people with a wide tip are not bothered by it but this does not seem to be the case for you. There are surgical ways to reshape your nose and make it thinner. If it has bothered you for a long time and you feel self-conscious about it then I would recommend at least getting an individualized consultation to explore the possible...

Is rhinoplasty worth it?
From your photos you do appear to be a candidate for rhinoplasty. The decision whether it is worth it is really yours. It sounds like your nose has bothered you for a long time, which is important when considering surgery.
Rhinoplasty could be done to rebalance the shape and size of your nose to better fit in with the rest of your face. Preoperative digital morphing with your surgery would be very helpful in coming up with a specific surgical plan.

Should I Get a Nose Job?
Having a Rhinoplasty is a very personal decision. I know because I had one when I was in college. You have to do this for you and not for anyone else. I always looked in the mirror and saw my nose not my face. I knew it was something I wanted to do for myself. Having the surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself. For me, it changed the way I looked and felt. Be true to yourself. If you choose the right surgeon and express your desires in detail then you will have an amazing result....

Having ANY cosmetic surgery is a very personal decision, that ONLY you can make. Best is to obtain IN PERSON evaluations from boarded docs in your area.

Rhinoplasty
If you are considering undergoing a rhinoplasty, you should go for an evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon or ENT doctor. They can review your concerns and review a surgical plan with you.

Nose Job or Not?
The decision to proceed with any elective procedure is obviously a very personal one which only you as a patient can and should decide but as physicians we can guide you to determine what options are available that might improve those areas that bother you to enhance your appearance. My philosophy is that the goal of rhinoplasty surgery should be to actually draw attention “away” from the nose by balancing it with other features and removing obvious distortions or asymmetries...

Aesthetically speaking the nose is wide with a wide tip and a rotation that appears to be at the upper aesthetic limit of 115 degrees (makes it look short and upturned). The chin is also weak which gives the false imnpression of the nose being over-projected.
A Chin Implant would balance the lower face while a Rhinoplasty would narrow and make the nose more feminine and refined. Is this something that you "should do"? This is a personal decision that only...

Should I Get a Nose Job?
After reviewing your photos, rhinoplasty surgery can definitely reduce the size of your nose and reshape certain areas of the nose. However, the only person who can answer that question is you. You are certainly a candidate but need to weight the pros and cons of surgery to determine if it is right for you. Seek a consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to have all of your questions answered. I hope this information is helpful.

Speak with an experienced surgeon about your goals in nose shape and see what he has to say. Your photos indicate an issue with your anatomy that we commonly see in patients who feel their nose is too big, and that is a chin that is relatively small. It might be a good idea to explore the idea of a chin augmentation (whichmakes the nasal proportions look better) whan you get your consultation.

Only you can decide if you want to get a nose job. I can tell you that a rhinoplasty and possibly a chin implant by an experienced surgeon will improve your appearance. I think you have answered your own question by taking the time to submit your pictures and consider the possibility of spending the money to have this procedure. Best of luck.

Get a nose job?
Changing your nose is a very personal decision. You should want to make the change for yourself, not because some other people think your nose is big. It is also important that you try to figure out what it is that you don't like about your nose. That way you can make sure that you are on the same page as your surgeon. That being said, in my opinion your nasal tip is over projected, but your dorsum (the bridge of your nose) is low. This combination and proportion makes your nose look...
