Is this look achievable for my nose and compatible to my face? (Photos)

Question

Hi there! I’m having a hard time finding a surgeon in the US that performs this style of nose. (Of course I want to make sure this nose would match my face first!) however, this is the look I am striving for. Photos below. Main concerns are the hanging columella, nose drooping when I smile, bump, and I want a slight slope and the tip smaller and upturned (like the side & front photos of Cindy Kimberly) I also really wish for the front to resemble as well, with the structured look and tip upturn. What surgeon in US offers this style? Thanks:)

Frank Agullo, MD · Answer

The look you desire is achievable. As you have mentioned, the dorsal hump needs to be reduced, the tip turned upwards and narrowed, the hanging colummela raised, the tip projected, and the nose narrowed. Your smile will need to be softened with Botox and the muscle that turns your tip down when you smile needs to be divided.

The Vectra 3D system is a great way to visualize these changes in your face in 3D.

Great question, and thanks for providing a variety of photos. There are many factors that can influence how your nose responds to rhinoplasty, including your nasal anatomy and thickness of your skin. With that said, a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon can certainly help you achieve a natural, beautiful look. Judging by the photos you provided, lowering the dorsal hump and nasal tip surgery will get you closer to your desired results. When researching reputable surgeons, look for clinics that utilize digital photography or simulation. This can help you see what you might look like with rhinoplasty.

Of course nothing is guaranteed 100% but I see no reason why you can’t achieve the look of the photos that she submitted. With a nasal bass narrowing and tip reconstruction you will be able to get closer to the final look that you seek. As always a face-to-face consultation with a reputable specialist is necessary. Any surgeon with good rhinoplasty experience can provide very close to what you seek

Matthew Bridges, MD, FACS · Answer

Whether or not you could achieve a certain"style" of rhinoplasty completely depends on the anatomy of your nose.  This is where computer imaging is useful to gauge expectations.  It looks to me that you like the supratip break, which is much more reliability achieved with the closed approach in my opinion.

Dear sabrinasabb,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would get good results from rhinoplasty. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
