Hi Doctors, I have a deviated septum and I plan on getting it fixed soon. I'm not interested in using ear/rib grafts or implants for my nose and I'm not looking to make my bridge taller either. I just want the tip to be slightly pushed upwards, I like how my nose looks when I pinch the sides, can I get similar or the same results through using the cartilage from the deviated side and septum cartilage?
I had an ethnic rhinoplasty exactly 2 years ago. My results are not favorable as it appears I lost the ethnic look to my nose. The PS had said he would honor my wish to not lift the tip because after an office demonstration of what that might look like I'd said no way. He said he'd narrow the upper and middle part of my nose. But right after I new he'd done something to the front because of notril show. My best friend walked right past me.
i want to do something with my nostrils. Even though most people think that there is nothing wrong with them, and i kind of think so too. But i think it would be nice to make them smaller. I want to know if it would be possible for me to get smaller nostrils without inserting any kinds of implants (including those ear cartilage implants). I want to make my nostrils smaller and slimmer, is it possible to reduce the size of the nostrils without having any kinds of implants inserted to the nose?
No fillers either. What I mean to ask is, does bunching up the cartilage as you do when you reduce a bulbous tip makes the nose more aquiline and projected? If you take a look at the picture attached, there's no implant, yet the tip seems more projected. Alar base reduction wouldn't cause that, I assume?
(left) my real nose and (right) photoshopped ideal nose What surgeries would I need and is it possible to get a similar ideal nose without using implants/grafts as I don't feel comfortable putting something in my nose that doesn't belong there? The only thing I changed from the before picture is my bridge and alars. I'm thinking nose rasping and alar reduction, but would this be enough? If I get these procedures done, will it make my nose look flat from the front? Thanks!
