Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWhat Type of Procedures Do I Need? (photo)
I am considering rhinoplasty to reduce the dorsal hump, and was wondering what other modifications I should possibly expect to have done with it. Tip reduction? Straightening? I do not have 100% airflow through my nostrils (never have). I tried a similar post yesterday, but don't think the photos attached. Thank you.

What Type of Procedures Do I Need?
Aesthetically speaking, the dorsal hump should be reduced and the nasal tip thinned. The chin is also weak and the cheeks are flat making the face appear eleongated with an unbalanced lower face. In addition to Rhinoplasty, you may want to consider Cheek Augmentation with Cheek Implants as well as Chin Augmentation with a Chin Implant. Hope this helps.

Tip plasty with a slight tip elevation
In addition to straightening your profile I would advise you to reduce the bulk of your tip and to slightly elevate it as well.

I think it would be advantages for you while seeking consultation to see a surgeon who uses a digital imaging computer this will be able to show you the surgeons proposed results. I use this during my rhinoplasty consultations and then I can show the patients before and after pictures as well as the imaging photos to show how close in proximity the final results are to the expected results. It is important in rhinoplasty surgery to give the patient a natural looking nose...

Good candidate for a rhinoplasty and septoplasty
From your photographs it appears that you would be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty and septoplasty and possibly turbinate surgery to improve the shape of your nose and improve your nasal airway obstruction. It appears that you have a dorsal nasal hump and an under projected nasal tip. You would get both functional and cosmetic improvement of your nose with a rhinoplasty and septoplasty.

What rhinoplasty changes will look the best
The changes possible with a rhinoplasty are infinite, and you should prepare before with an idea of what you like and hope to see. After careful examination, we like to use computer imaging to 'try out' changes on your photos to get the clearest idea of the best fit for you, and then design the surgical approach to get there.

Recommendation in a rhinoplasty
Before one jumps at recommendations, we need to evaluate the nose. This is done by performing a nasal analysis.
At the start, the columella lip angle is at the upper limit of normal for a man and even may be elevated. So care should be involved in preventing further elevation. The chin is a little weak making the nase and hump more prroeminent, and consideration for a chin implant should be made again. A nose analysis should help.
Obviously the hump should be reduced, by how much is...
