Can my upturned nose be turned to 90 degrees after surgery so that my nostrils won't show. Can it also be done with nose reduction
Answer: 90 degrees? Usually the tip can be brought down, but an exam or pictures would help to determine what would be realistic.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Rhinoplasty turned to 90° There are many variables in the anatomy of the nose that may or may not allow the nose to be rotated upwards or downwards. Pictures would be required before giving any opinion.

Answer: Proper nasal tip position This question can't adequately be answered without seeing photos of your nose, but the answer is likely yes. There is an important dynamic between the position of the tip, the nostril margins (alar rims) and the columella (the part below the tip that attaches to the lip) that creates the proper aesthetic proportions for a nose that is pleasing in appearance.

Answer: 90 Degree Turn After Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. It is difficult to answer your question without studying photographs of your nose. Rotation of the nasal tip is possible, but the relationship between the columella (skin and cartilage between the nostrils) and the nostrils must be appropriate to create a nose of aesthetic proportions. Some nostril show is required or the nose will have a "pig" like appearance.I would be delighted to see you in consultation and review your photographs.Best to you.
