Do I Need a Rhinoplasty? (photo)
I underwent Septoplasty in March 2012 and at that time I told my doctor to conduct a septo-rhinoplasty but he told me that I don't one. I have attached some photos of my nose from different sides.

Decision to have rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a very personal decision. It is made per the patient given their personal desire to change the cosmetic structure of the nose. It is important to have clear goals in mind when considering a rhinoplasty and to make sure it is communicated to the surgeon prior to surgery. Narrowing and refining of the tip is performed with tip suturing techniques. Osteotomies are performed to straighten nasal bones.

Do I Need a Rhinoplasty?
Aesthetically, your nose could be improved with a Rhinoplasty to straighten the bone and cartilage, rotate the tip up slightly while thinning it and making it more symmetrical. Whether you "need" a Rhinoplasty or not is a subjective matter IMHO however the aesthetics are what they are regardless of one's desire to act upon them.

No on "needs" a rhinoplasty, it's more about how you feel about your nose and how much it can be changed
Rhinoplasty is a very personal choice. No one "needs" rhinoplasty. I have seen patients come in at the urging of a friend, relative or spouse with a huge nose but personally they are really not interested in having surgery. Others may have subtle changes in what most would consider a nice nose, yet they are still good candidates. If you are considering rhinoplasty, seek out a specialist and discuss your desires. See if their "before and afters" fits your aeshetic sense as well.

Do I Need a Rhinoplasty? (photo)
Need is not the question here. You should be asking yourself if you like the appearance of your nose or not. I did not like mine so I had a Rhinoplasty many years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. But I did not need a Rhinoplasty. If you have breathing difficulties then you might need to have that corrected. There are many things you can do to refine and improve the appearance to any nose. I would consult with a board certified surgeon who specializes in Rhinoplasty surgery. However,...

Rhinoplasty
Changing the features of the face or the appearance of the nose is an individual option and is a personal matter . It seems that you desire to imorove the shape of your nose. In my opinion there is room to achievr your goal by having a rhinoplasty done. In order to have more balance in your profile some sculpturing of the nasal tip and shortening the lengh of your nose should be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Rhinoplasty
As long as you have a good airway, a rhinoplasty at this point would be for aesthetic reasons only. If you do not like the appearance of your nose, I suggest you go for a consultation.

Do I need a Rhinoplasty?
Hi,
No one needs a rhinoplasty if your nose is functioning properly. In other words, if your nasal breathing and function is normal then the only question is cosmetic. You can improve your nose from an aesthetic/cosmetic standpoint, but of course this personal preference.
Best,

Is Rhinoplasty Necessary?
Hi,
Asking your question depicts Rhinoplasty as a necessary surgery for survival.
That approach is not how approaching an aesthetic issue safely. In other words, you should not "need" a rhinoplasty but it does enhance your facial appearance greatly.
With that perspective, narrowing your nasal dorsum, de-projecting your tip and narrowing it as well as addressing your alar base will provide you with a smaller/narrower nose that will better fit your facial features hence the...

Need for a Rhinoplasty
You don't "need' a rhinoplasty but you could improve your appearance with that operation when done by an experienced surgeon. On the basis of the pictures submitted I would suggest that you straighten the nose , narrow and define the tip, and correct the separation of the tip cartilages. Although you did not include a picture of your profile I suspect that your bridge could be lowered. Spend the time to consult with a rhinoplasty specialist to discuss your alternatives.

Yes you are A good Candidate for Rhinoplasty
Yes you are an excellent candidate for Rhinoplasty surgery. I would suggest an appointment with a well qualified board certified surgeon for a Rhinoplasty consultation. I personally use a digital imaging computer during my Rhinoplasty consultations which allows the patient to see the proposed surgical result. I also show books of before and after photographs as well as their proposed imaging to show the patient how close in proximity these results are. I hope this is helpful ...
