Rhinoplasty for the long nose with wide nostrils.

Long nose with thick skin and wide nostrils needs ethnic rhinoplasty.

You display the classic characteristics of many of my ethnic rhinoplasty patients. Your nasal shape needs to be addressed by creating a natural and optimal balance between your plunging nasal tip, alar (nostril) flaring, wide nasal base, thick skin and unrefied nasal tip. All this should be harmonoously shaped using ethnic rhinoplasty techniques, skin thinning, alar base narrowing, dorsal aesthetic shadow creations, and raising/refining and projecting the tip. While the... more

Thick wide nose needs extra attention

Your nose has thicker skin in addition to having the concerns you voice about its being wide and long. Special attention must be given to optimize your skin thickness either medically or surgically during the perioperiative managment.

Rhinoplasty for long nose w/wide nostrils

The rhinoplasty operation is performed for multiple different reasons. Narrowing and refining the nasal tip and bridge, shortening the nose, and narrowing the nostrils are all goals that can be accomplished through a closed rhinoplasty technique. It is best to have the incisions placed on the internal portion of the nose as in a closed rhinoplasty.

What kind of nose job is the right one for me?

Dear rhinoplasty patient from Indiana, Reviewing limited picture of your nose reveals strong bony structure, wide nasal base, and droopy tip. As it is mentioned before a well-done rhinoplasty is a good one. I would recommend an open rhinoplasty. You need to make appointments with two to three rhinoplasty surgeons to have a better idea about what is appropriate for you. Good luck

Rhinoplasty - what sort of nose job

The best way for you to find an answer to your question is to meet in consultation with a rhinoplasty surgeon. He/she will be able to discuss with you the specific things about your nose you dislike and help you set realistic expectations about what can be achieved with rhinoplasty surgery. Sometimes patients have trouble expressing what bothers them or what they would like to look like, so I also recommend bringing pictures of noses you like and dislike and noting what you... more
