I have a long, bulbous, wide nose. It has a very unique shape. Is it possible to get an elegant (not cutesy) nose from my current one? A narrower bridge and smaller tip, as well as the sides next to my nostrils. When looking through before and after pictures, I have yet to find a nose that looks like mine, so I cannot see similar results. In your expert opinions, doctors, what would I realistically be able to expect from a rhinoplasty? Thank you!

Answer: Reduction Rhinoplasty Thanks for your question and for sending in your photos.You do have a unique nose but there are some changes you could make with Rhinoplasty that could improve how it fits in with your other facial features.Your nasal tip is over projected and perhaps slightly downturned . Bringing this closer to the face would be helpful but be careful how much you do this. Bringing any facial feature inward on your side view will make it look rounder on the front view. You also have thick skin and likely fairly stiff tip cartilages they need to be modified carefully Rotating the tip up slightly will make the nose seem shorter from eyebrows to tip and this would look good on you. Be careful not to overdo the changes. Subtle changes to various nasal features often gives the most aesthetically pleasing results.Good luck

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank You for your photos. In my professional opinion, I feel you are definitely a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. Narrowing the tip & bridge is what I feel best. Most surgeons offer photo imaging to give you an idea of what it can potentially look like so be sure to request that in your search for your surgeon. Good Luck!Best,Dr. Elliot Heller

Answer: What are my options regarding rhinoplasty? #rhinoplasty #nosejob Thank you for your question! Congratulations on considering having a rhinoplasty. It is a wonderful operation and can help to refine and improve the appearance of your nose. Based on the photographs you have shared, I think your expectations are reasonable. It appears you would like to reduce the size and deproject the nasal tip, and refine its appearance. You would also like to reduce the width of your nasal dorsum (bridge), as well. A rhinoplasty is a procedure where the underlying bone and cartilage are reduced in size and changed in shape to give an overall improved and refined appearance to the nose. A small incision is made in the columella (the skin bridge between the nostrils) and the skin of the nose is lifted to perform the surgery. The nasal dorsum can be reshaped and reduced in size, and precise sutures are placed into the nasal tip to reduce it in size and refine its appearance. I would suggest you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. Here you will have a full evaluation and be able to discuss your goals for surgery.I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
