Rhinoplasty Question: Dislike Side View of Nose

asked 1 year ago by suchaparadox in Cincinnati, Ohio

Tags: age 18-24, female, dislike, side

Hi, I am an 18 year old female and I've wanted to get a rhinoplasty for years. I know my nose is bulbous from the front view, however the side view of my nose is what bothers me most. I don't know the 'technical terms' for what I dislike about it, but just everything about the profile view of my nose is VERY aesthetically displeasing to me. If anyone could take a look at my picture and help me understand exactly what I might be seeing, it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Profile enhancement with rhinoplasty.

You may not like the shortness or "upturned" look on the profile. This and the bulbous tip can be corrected at the same time by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Dislike profile view of nose. ( Tension nose )

This condition is sometimes called tension nose. The reason is over growth of nasal septum which leads to over projection of the nasal structure. Simply, the nose is being pushed out of the face. The nose has to be refined and reset back by combination of several procedures which include dorsal reduction, nasal spine reduction and tip refinement in addition to reduction of anterior septum.

Problems With Profile View

In the profile view you have a small bony hump, a bulbous tip, and a hanging columella. All these unfavorable characteristics can be improved with rhinoplasty surgery.

I am not sure what bothers you exactly from the profile. If it is the upturn of the tip that can be adjusted.  The bublosity of the nose can also be corrected.
