My nose doesn't have a lot of projection or definition, and it makes my face look really heavy. I attached edited pictures of my nose and a model's nose that I love. Are my expectations too high for what's medically possible?

Answer: Rhinoplasty for the thick skinned nose. Rhinoplasty for the thick skinned nose. You can have a more projection and definition to your nose , but NOT a thin skinned nose like the model whose skin is very thin. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who can show you natural results in noses that have thick skin.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty which can be performed by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly and a dorsal hump reduction. 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. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
