Does Getting a Nose Job, Drastically Change Your Face?

If you get a nose job can it drastically change your face? Would it just enhance features? Would your lips look fuller or eyes look bigger? I know this may be a shallow question, but can someone go from a 7 to a 9 or 10 (on level attractivnes) after a nose job?

How much of a facial change can be expected after rhinoplasty

A well-done rhinoplasty usually provides a nice enhancement to the facial features by restoring/ enhancing facial balance. The changes are usually not drastic (although this partly depends on the degree of nasal imballance/ deformity preoperatively) but noticeable, and if the nose is the only part of the face causing some disharmony, then rhinoplasty can bring someone from a 7 to a 9/10.

Rhinoplasty??

Repeated sceintific studies have shown that when you look at someone you first look at their eyes then, you track to their nose and mouth. Anything attractive in these primary areas of focus can create a favorable impression. Yes, several stars have had cosmetic surgery on the faces which has moved them in to a more appealing position such as Marilyn Monroe- Nose & Chin, Julia Roberts- Nose & Chin, etc. Make sure your surgeon knows your intentions... more

Degree of change or improvement with nose job

A nose job tends to give better facial balance, so when a rhinoplasty is performed correctly, the results looks quite natural. A natural-looking nose blends as a part of the facial features, rather than a prominent feature on the patient’s face. The balance makes any self-conscious awareness of a deformity diminish and self-confidence improves. Degree of change to establish this balance varies with each patient.

Drastic changes after a nose job?

The answer to your question, it depends. Someone who is looking to either dramatically augment their nose or reduce their nose can potentially have a dramatic change. Meaning an individual who has either a extremely large dorsum or an individual who has a extremely saddled bridge a rhinoplasty. Although these changes can be significant the goal for any rhinoplasty surgery is to achieve harmony with the other facial structures and a natural result.

Does Getting a Nose Job, Drastically Change Your Face?

This is an excellent question and one that may confuse many patients. Aesthetically speaking a Rhinoplasty is performed to improve the appearance of the nose making it less noticable. The aesthetics of facial beauty, as outlined in my book "What's Your Number...The Palmer Code" state that the cheeks, eye area and lips are the most important features in creating beauty, not the nose. When the nose has some attribute that draws attention to itself, this happens at the... more

I suggest you look at multiple before and after pictures. Make sure the picture depicts a rhinoplasty ONLY. In general, a rhinoplasty adds subtle aeshtetic enhancement to the face.

Even a subtle nose job makes the face much more attractive.

Hi. If you look at before and after pictures, you will see what I am talking about. I am not sure what your concern is, but using a number rating is not a bad idea. After all, the point of having cosmetic surgery is to be better looking. And the number should definitely go up with a well done nose job.

The nose is in the center of your face, if it's too large it can distract. If it fits, if it fits the rest is better appreciated

There are a number of reasons why people look better after rhinoplasty. Of course a smaller nose fits better but it also distracts less and others see the rest of your face. A professor of mine used to say "the sign of a good nosejob is in the eyes." There are also often changes in people's self reliance after getting nasal surgery. This boost in self confidence often out-strips the surgical changes. A rhinoplasty specialist can discuss and often demonstrate changes on a computer... more

The most important thing in this process that you need to make sure you do is to find a board certified surgeon who specializes in Rhinoplasty surgery and have a discussion about your goals. None of us can tell you how it will change your overall beauty. I have patients that a Rhinoplasty makes unbelievable difference in as far as overall looks and others that have... more

Does getting a nose job drastically change your face?

Hello, having a rhinoplasty can provide drastic changes if that's what you're hoping to achieve. It can also provide slight changes. Depending on how much your nose is changed will determine how the rest of your features will look post operatively. I suggest that you schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. When the surgeon does photo imaging you will get a good idea of your end results. Good luck to you.
