The bridge of my nose and slight bump bother me. Would rhinoplasty or non-surgical options be beneficial? (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question! A cosmetic rhinoplasty could be a good option for you to correct your nose asymmetry and the "bump" that you are concerned with. If you want to see the potential results without undergoing surgery off the bat, then you could also consider a liquid rhinoplasty with dermal fillers first, followed by the surgical rhinoplasty once you are confident in what you're looking for. As always, it would be best to seek out a plastic and reconstructive surgeon for an in-office consult to best assess what procedures and techniques would work best for your desired aesthetic goals. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question and the picture. I'd strongly urge you to consider surgical rhinoplasty (over non-surgical) for multiple reasons- very few patients are actually good candidates for non-surgical rhinoplasty, and non-surgical rhinoplasty carries the risk of BLINDNESS!

That said, rhinoplasty truly a surgery of millimeters- and whether you're looking for a minor adjustment or a major transformation, it requires exceptional surgical skill to achieve natural-looking results! Because your nose is the DEFINING feature of your face- I would only recommend seeing a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty procedures, and who has significant training and experience performing these surgeries. I actually trained under one of the world leading rhinoplasty experts (who performs 1,000+ nosejobs annually).

I recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with rhinoplasties) to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate your options, and develop a personalized plan just for you.

At the same time, since I also specialize in facial aesthetics procedures (like facelifts / neck lifts, blepharoplasty, etc), we could also discuss other options to fully rejuvenate your entire face and neck! I hope this helps!

Thank you for your inquiry! Liquid Rhinoplasty is a non-surgical option or Rhinoplasty would be the surgical option to consider. We would love to discuss this further with you. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Based on your photos, you appear to have somewhat of a wide and crooked nasal appearance with an over-projected profile appearance. That means that your bridge and tip stick out a bit too far, and there is a small bump and a bit of droopiness of your nasal tip. Rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a narrower nasal appearance on front view, with nasal straightening, tip lift, and dorsal reduction for a less distracting and more feminine nasal appearance. You do not appear to have significant aging in your neck, in that regard, an examination would be necessary to determine what might be best, in my opinion. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hi from Istanbul!Thank You for your question, the bridge of your nose is high and results with a bump, the height of the nose can be reduced to create a curve in the radix. I would recommend you lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat grafting to create a facial harmony.Best luck!

I would recommend a preservation rhinoplasty to address your nasal concerns. Some facial fat grafting in combination with submental (chin/jawline) liposuction would help provide from optimal contour.

You are a candidate for a rhinoplasty. Your nose is inclined to one side and you have a minor dorsal hump. Your nasal columella angle is too acute as well.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question. First, you are a beautiful lady. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. Additionally, I would perform liposuction of the neck and jowl areas.A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a much better candidate for a surgical rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Liquid rhinoplasty is only a good option when specific concerns are being addressed, with one of those being a modest dorsal hump. This hump can be camouflaged with small amounts of filler to give an overall straighter view on profile. However, HA filler for this concern is only a temporary solution and it also does not allow you to address any nasal asymmetry that you have nor does it allow you to drastically affect the position or shape of your nasal tip. If you are looking for a permanent solution to the problem, or have other things that are bothersome regarding your nose, a surgical approach would be better.
