Type of Rhinoplasty for my crooked nose?

I reviewed your picture. The issues you described can be handled using either the "open" or  "closed" approach. It only depends on your preference and the surgeon's preference. I personally prefer the "closed" approach because it avoids any scar, even a well healed... more

It appears that there is a bump on the nose and a large bulbous tip. Rhinoplasty can be done through either a closed or an open approach, although I would favor a closed approach. The price range on a rhinoplasty of this type would be approximately $6,000 including the operating room, anesthesia, and the... more
