My nose is grand when you look at me straight. The side profile on one side is different on the other hand..thats the issue and thats what's in the photo.

Discuss nasal changes you desire with your surgeon. #rhinoplasty

I recommend you decide three things you dislike about your nose, and then discuss these with your surgeon. Some surgeons have video imaging equipment available and are able to show you potential changes to your nose after surgery. In my practice, I have found that post-operative patients are surprised that "no one noticed" they had a rhinoplasty. This is a complement because the nose now fits their face and does not have an "operated" look. Rhinoplasty surgery will... more

Rhino change

Looking at your picture I think you are a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. You will see an immediate improvement from the bony work on the dorsum of your nose.

In rhinoplasty if the difference is important to you...

With cosmetic surgery and often in nasal shaping we focus on differences and imperfections which don't trouble those around us. Sometimes even after a procedure friends my note that you appear confident and well though they cannot pick out the changes. Even small changes in a nose can make a big difference to an individual. If you can't get it off your mind the result is likely to be worth the effort. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd
