Tip Rhinoplasty or Full Rhinoplasty? (photo)

My family say it's going to leave me looking mutilated!! Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated in deciding which surgeon to go with.

Full rhinoplasty vs tip only rhinoplasty
Full rhinoplasty. Refining the nasal tip by-itself would leave the nose out of balance. The nasal bones are wide and need to be brought in and made narrower.

A little vertical height with a chin implant can add to the balance of your face. I hope this helps. Good luck

Tip Rhinoplasty or Full Rhinoplasty
I feel you should have a full rhinoplasty to narrow and slightly augment the nasal bridge. Your nose will not be mutilated is the work is done by an experienced surgeon whose results you like.

Rhinoplasty
A carefully planned rhinoplasty should not leave you mutilated. It should provide an improvement of your nose to be more proportionate to your face.

Open Structure Rhinoplasty
There are no shortcuts in rhinoplasty. You have a very tough nose which would require an open structure approach. Your nasal bones require narrowing as does your tip. Please call my office if you would like more information for a consult.
