I would recommend an in-person consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. He or she may use computer imaging software to morph a photo of you, which will give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. There are techniques that can help reduce the width of your nose, and the overall approach taken will depend on your individual circumstances. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
I would recommend tip refinement, alar base reduction, and bridge narrowing to achieve a more refined appearance. 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
Good question: First, there is no "one" African-American nose. There are different shapes and presentations. The "width" you refer to is likely the lower or "base" of the nose. This can look wide because it is wide, because of thick skin or because there is less bridge on the upper part of the nose. A consultation with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon would be best to give you an exact plan.
Best to seek only IN PERSON evaluations for tip rhinoplasty worth alar wedge resections. Make sure the surgeons are board certified.///
Good afternoon. After rhinoplasty (nasal surgery), the nose can become REALLY swollen, and this swelling can take a LONG TIME to resolve (up to 1-2 years to fully resolve). At the time of this question, only 1.5 weeks postop, there would still be a significant amount of swelling present. Most of...
Thank you for the question and photo, but the only way to truly know the extent of the damage to your nose is through an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. If there is a fracture or other damage, early intervention typically produces the best...
Impossible to tell this early with you wrapped up and without preoperative photos. I would follow with your surgeon.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
I addressed this exact question and published a paper on it in 2010 "Accuracy of Preoperative Computer Imaging in Rhinoplasty" Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery/Vol 12 (NO.6) Nov/Dec 2010. If you would like a copy then please contact my office and we will get one to you.In an nutshell..If...
Hello ChrySler, Thanks for the great question! It is possible you have a deviated septum. You may be feeling your bony septum or nasal spine. This can happen even without breaking your nose or any trauma in the past. This can be perfectly normal. I would say many of my patients don't even...
It's really likely that this is all due to the distribution of the residual swelling following the rhinoplasty and will resolve completely over time. The likelihood that you could cause any permanent changes by wearing sunglasses for 5 seconds (or even for several minutes for that matter) is...
