Can I achieve this look with a closed rhinoplasty? I have a dorsal hump and droopy nose tip
Answer: Rhinoplasty for a dorsal hump and droopy nasal tip: Rhinoplasty for a dorsal hump and droopy nasal tip: A dorsal hump and droopy tip can be corrected by either closed or open iRhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty is less invasive, results in less scar tissue, and quicker healing. Open Rhinoplasty gives better direct vision and is easier for revision surgeries involving the placement of multiple Cartlidge graphs to reconstruct a devastated nose. However the majority of primary Rhinoplasties particularly those involving a dorsal hump, a long nose, an over projecting nose, a bulbous nasal tip, a plunging tip , and any combination of these could easily be performed with either closed or open rhinoplasty. Ultimately it depends on the comfort level of the surgeon performing the procedure which technique he employs. In general surgeons who first learned and grew up on closed rhinoplasty will be more comfortable with this procedure particularly if they have a great deal of experience. Generally younger surgeons who first learned and grew up on open Rhinoplasty will prefer open in Rhinoplasty to closed . So ultimately, in your case the type of surgery, whether open or closed, will depend on the comfort level of the surgeon you choose.

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

Answer: I have a dorsal hump and droopy nose tip. Can I achieve this look with a closed rhinoplasty? The nasal areas that you described and would like improved can be addressed with an artistically performed natural appearing nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) through either a closed or open surgical approach. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do based on limited two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think rhinoplasty is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.
