Should I Do a Nose Tip Refinement? Or Do I Need to Do More for a More Attractive Nose?

Hello,Your natural nose is so beautiful and is at the perfect height. I think that you would benefit for a tip plasty, but I would not touch anything else. It is a beautiful nose. All the best,Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

Hello, and sorry to hear you are not happy with the appearance of your nasal tip. It is possible to do a tip refinement only, and that may satisfy your needs, making your nose appear more feminine. However, there are other areas that need to be taken into consideration, and sometimes other procedures may be necessary in order to keep the nose in harmony with your facial features. This is something that can be determined during a consult with a skilled rhinoplasty surgeon. Rhinoplasty is a procedure tailored to the individual. While you may use the nose of someone else to communicate the general idea of what you are looking for, the procedure will be customized for you. The best candidate for a rhinoplasty meets the following criteria:

1) Realistic expectations
2) Looking for an improvement, as opposed to obtaining a perfect nose

I would recommend seeking out a consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area. After examining your nose in person, they will be able to provide you with advice on how you may benefit from surgery. Thank you and good luck!

  It's usually best in most cases to perform a full rhinoplasty rather than just a tip plasty.  Suture techniques will narrow the nasal tip cartilages  which can be  performed along with cartilage removal. Releasing of the depressor septi ligament also help prevent the tip from drooping upon  animation. When a weak chin profile is present, a chin implant is usually recommended at the same time as the rhinoplasty to improve facial balance. Please see the link below for examples of the combination rhinoplasty and chin implant in our practice. We also have a virtual  plastic surgery software on our website to see what your new nose and chin might look like.
