Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a Question
What if the Front View of the Nose Changes Drastically when Facial Muscles Are Relaxed?
When I relax my facial muscles around my nose, the nostrils go up along with the whole tip resulting in a puffy ball-like appearance. My question is, even if I have a nose job with tip reduction, wouldn't this still happen? How would a surgeon address this issue?

Appearance of nose when facial muscles are relaxed
When performing a rhinoplasty the facial muscles are not addressed or de-animated. Any animation will still continue after the rhinoplasty. The rhinoplasty will make the entire bridge line and tip more narrow so even upon animation the nose is not quite as wide.

Rhinoplasty Options
Hello, from your description it sounds like you have a tension nose. If this is the case, rhinoplasty would improve the appearance by reducing the nasal projection and decreasing nasal rotation. Without being examined it is difficult to lay out an exact treatment plan. For more personalized advice schedule an exam with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Will a Rhinoplasty Change the Appearance of Your Nose Associated With Facial Movement?
It's a difficult question to answer without an exam to evaluate the dynamic changes that are taking place when you move your facial muscles. As a general rule however, while there are some attachments that move your nose when you move your facial muscles that can be divided using specific techniques during your rhinoplasty, there are others that cannot be changed with surgery. My experience with people who complain of similar issues has been that overall they are usually very pleased with...
