I've posted a front and a side view picture of my nose. Could you tell what changes and procedures need to be done to improve the appearance of my nose and the possible expectations? Thank you.

Rhinoplasty for nasal hump and tip.

The hump would be removed and the tip refined and the bridge narrowed. You would need spreader grafts for the mid nose. Make sure you see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best result.

Complete rhinoplasty for nasal shaping

It is not hard to imagine what improvements are appropriate for your nose, and computer imaging can help you visualize the potential. Most would suggest a complete rhinoplasty which would remove the hump and steps to narrow the nose. Finally the round tip can be thinned and refined. I think the changes would be sure to please you. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

Specific nasal aesthetic concerns on your part, means deliverable goals on your surgeons part.

The changes that can be made need to fit with what you would like and your expectations. An important question I ask of all my rhinoplasty patients is: "what would you like to see changed?". Simply because a change can be made, does not necessarily mean it should be. That is why it's important to have a consultation where you can meet with your doctor, discuss what aspect of your nose you'd like to change, and then you and your surgeon can discuss... more

Expectations of Rhinoplasty Surgery

The hump would be removed to achieve a straight profile. Your tip should be reduced and refined. With your slightly thick skin, a small cartilage graft should be considered. Another small cartilage graft at the margin of the nostrils may be necessary to prevent retraction of the nostril margin secondary to the orientation of your tip cartilages. This will all be discussed during consultation after examination of your nose.

Fix my nose

An online photo will never be as good as a face-to-face evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon, particularly when you are requesting information about a rhinoplasty. It is very important for the surgeon to determine the goals of the patient as well as their expected outcomes, to make sure their expectations are realistic. If I had a patient with this nose, and they wanted it to look better, and left the rest up to me, I would start with: Removing the dorsal hump... more

Well-performed Rhinoplasty Surgery may improve the appearance of your nose.

I read your question and reviewed your photos. Your tip is wide on your front view, and you have a profile-bump. You may consider Rhinoplasty Surgery to remove your profile-bump and narrow your tip. You should consult several reputable rhinoplasty specialists to see what would be best for you. I hope this is helpful for you. Regards from NJ. see video

Nasal improvements

It is always best for the prospective patient( YOU) to at least state what is bothering you. Certainly improvment can be made to your nose, it is just a matter of what your expectationa and goals are.

What you need in rhinoplasty

While some doctors routinely tell patients what they need from the start, it has been my habit to try and found out what the patient would like to see and if I could deliver it. That's where I find computer imaging the most helpful. There are times when after imaging when I presented what i thought the patient wanted or needed and it was totally rejected. I can't give you what you want unless we are on the same page. From a "standard" point of view you would need... more

What would you do to my nose with a Rhinoplasty

I have performed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and IMHO, Rhinoplasty would be used to make the nose thinner along the bridge, reduce the dorsal hump and make the tip smaller and more refined.

Recommended work for rhinoplasty.

Hi, I've seen this nose in another question. Best thing is to send your pictures and I can computer image them for you.

What to do for my nose

You need recontouring of the dorsum that inturn requires medial and lateral osteotomies. To kep things in proportion, tip refinement would also be desirable.
