Asked By:sophie5194 in Berlin, Thüringen, Deutschland
Nose job: Can I only do a correction on the top of my nose? I’m happy with the rest of it! Hi! I’m really happy with the overall size and shape of my nose in general. Especially from the side. I do think the tip of my nose is too wide, to long and downturned. Can I only do a correction of the tip and will it be able to get me a shorter nose with maybe even a little bit of an upward tip? Thx!

If some of our patients are excessively swollen after rhinoplasty, we typically refer them to our esthetician for facial lymphatic drainage. That can be very helpful for managing swelling after rhinoplasty. I hope this helps, and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
If patients have active acne, or very thick oily nasal tip skin, treating the underlying skin condition before rhinoplasty is the best way to improve healing, and to minimize swelling in the nasal tip postoperatively. Thank you for this question, and I hope it helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
Hello, yes, this this procedure is done in the U.S. It is always recommended to schedule a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasties as well as ethnic noses to address this type of procedure.
