How complicated will a rhinoplasty be in my situation? All the examples I see online are the opposite of my nose. (Photos)

Age 30 and just now looking Into a rhinoplasty. It used to be more upturned growing up than it is now and I got bullied a lot. Even though I’ve grown into it a bit, I still get the ‘Button nose’ and ‘fairy nose’ as ‘compliments’. At this point i cant tell if its just a good fit for my face or if i should seriously consider rhinoplasty.

Your nasal lip angle is 90 degrees and should be 110 degrees. You would benefit from pulling the tip of the nose up higher. This will also reposition the columella. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question and photo. I would start by getting imaging of your facial skeleton as I think the issue is not so much the eyelid (which is certainly asymmetric), but the orbit (the bone the eye ball sits in) itself. In particular, if one side sits lower than the other, it can...
