Can Rhinoplasty Give me the Profile I Desire?

Rhinoplasty for less round, droopy tip

Rhinoplasty is a great option to achieve the nasal changes you describe. I would recommend visiting with a surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty, especially with noses similar to your own. Be sure to review before and after photographs of other patients' results to ensure that you like the surgeon's aesthetic. Often tip roundness is due to the convex curvature of the cartilages in that area. In my experience maneuvers to flatten this cartilage provides a very natural, durable... more

What you are asking for is very simple....

I trained in Dallas and Atlanta, and currently practice in Houston. The type of nose you have is very common in these communities because of a large Hispanic population.

Based on... more

The profile you desire in rhinoplasty

We have found patients can have the profile they are looking for after nasal shaping and communication is the key. Photos are very helpful, and best is computer simulation using your photos to 'try' different changes to see how they fit with and influence facial features. This will help both you and your surgeon see just what profile you fit into. Best of luck... more

I have performed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years. From the photos, you provided, the nose appears a bit wide. The nasal tip iseems bulbous and under-rotated which makes the nose appear long. You should be able to make the nose appear thinner with a tip that's rotated up and thin and more defined.

Dear Caribena unica
