I have a pretty bad looking nose. Even if I do a nose job, do I have to do it multiple times?
Answer: Weakness of nasal cartilage Although it appears as though you are missing cartilage in the lower portion of your nose, what you are seeing is a combination of thick skin and weak , malpositioned lower lateral cartilage. You would be an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I would suggest discussing your concerns with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon where we will be able to discuss your surgical options with you in detail.

Answer: Rhinoplasty is a solution Thank you for the provided photos. The rhinoplasty might be performed using the rib cartilage transfer if needed in order to fix the tip of the nose. Also, the nasal hump reduction should be done in order to give your nose a better shape and make the bridge of your nose visually thinner. Thus, the rhinoplasty surgery can definitely fix the aesthetical and functional problems of your nose in case if the Surgeon is qualified. I would also suggest a consultation in person in order to explain and give the detailed treatment information.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. You may also benefit from an alar batten graft to help provide improved symmetry. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty to replace cartilage The lower lateral cartilage could be replaced using ear cartilage. Hopefully this would be a permanent solution that would not require further surgery. However, achieving symmetry is very difficult and certainly could require further procedures.

Answer: Rhinoplasty with cartilage graft Dear anmol, Thanks for posting your pictures. From observing your pictures, you appear to lack the left lateral crura of the lower lateral cartilage, which supports the nostril.. That can be corrected by placing a strut of cartilage graft to support the nostril and improve on the alar notching. Additional maneuvers can be performed in order to improve your nose - flattening the dorsal bridge, refining the tip, narrowing the bony slopes and the nostrils. You have to realize that not all results are the same, because experience, technical skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good outcome. So, do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeon wisely. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Best of luck, Dr Widder
