Well-performed Rhinoplasty techniques may be used to improve the appearance of your nose.

Need for a Nose Job
Nobody needs a nose job but you can improve the appearance of your nose with a rhinoplasty. Your tip is wide and asymmetrical and you do have a moderate hump from the profile view. I would recommend a full rhinoplasty but you and your surgeon will decide what to change after a thorough consultation. Over the past 35 years I've had patients like you that just wanted to refine their tip; however, all those patients did come back later to remove the hump. Although you do respect the...

Want a nose job or need a nose job
For aesthetic purposes, no one needs a nose job. It's a want question. The only people that need a nose job are those getting Functional Rhinoplasty. This is when the crookedness of the nose causes breathing problems. Tip work is generally not part of the procedure when done for functional purposes.

Hello,
NEEDING a rhinoplasty is probably not the right term to use as it is not a medical necessity that if not considered will cause a life threat.
Based in the photos you have attached, it looks like you could benefit from nasal bridge and tip narrowing and provide you with a straighter dorsum.

Rhinoplasty can correct bulbous tip and dorsal hump
You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty procedure. Tip definition and dorsal hump correction can successfully be achieved for you. Don't worry these corrections should not interfere with your ability to breathe. Just be ready for a long healing process. Patients usually do not see a final result until after the 6th month to a year. Best wishes,

Do I need a rhinoplasty?
It's what you desire for yourself not friends. You would be a candidate for refinement but it has to be something you want for yourself. A consult with computer imaging may help you put in perspective. Good luck!

Rhinoplasty for facial appearance.
This is your choice not your friends. If the nose is crooked with a bulbous tip these can be corrected with a rhinoplasty.

Only you nose!
Excellent, you have been doing some of your homework regarding the subject of Rhinoplasty. Yes, other people may influence your decision to proceed with nasal surgery, but you must be the captain of your own ship (nose).

Personal choice
A rhinoplasty is a personal choice not someone elses. Good reasons are for career, more attractive or along with breating surgery. The motivation and reasons are personal No one can get inside your head and stand in your shoes and decide for you.
