My nose is over projected, but also broad/bulbous at the end, as well as pointy. It is also sort of pushed up, but I don't think you can tell from any of the photos. It looks totally different from multiple angles. All feedback is much appreciated. Thank you!
Answer: Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty? Which rhinoplastic procedures would you recommend? Unfortunately, the photos are quite blurry and don't show enough angles to make a detailed evaluation. There are many different techniques used to address specific cosmetic concerns of the nose. I truly believe that you are best served by seeing a plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation. In my opinion, a rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging surgeries. Find a surgeon that routinely performs rhinoplasties as part of his or her practice. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty? Which rhinoplastic procedures would you recommend? The tip can be refined and deprojected through a closed rhinoplasty approach without a visible scar to produce a natural result.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: Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty? Following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla,California

Answer: Rhinoplasty Candidate Thank you for the question and your photos. Rhinoplasty is a technichally challenging operation with nearly infinite possibilities of maneuvers and techniques. Most people have some slight asymmetry or aesthetic issue with their nose, and therefore could be a candidate for nose reshaping. That said, it's all about specifics -- what areas are you looking to address? What are your aesthetic goals? How is your breathing? Etc. This process requires review of standardized photos as well as an in-person exam. During your consultation, computer imaging programs can be very helpful in the discussion between you and your surgeon. Best of luck moving forward!#San Francisco Rhinoplasty

Answer: Candidacy for rhinoplasty cannot be determine from online photos Hi Inertia87!This is a common question on this forum. The short answer is, we cannot tell from a few partial-face photographs. In fact, full-face photographs are not enough, without a personal consultation and physical examination. A good rhinoplasty surgeon would examine your nasal structure, the physical characteristics of your nose, as well as talk to you about your specific desires and take your health history. Only then can your candidacy for a rhinoplasty be determined.Best,Dr. Most
