I come from a middle-eastern background, which I think is apparent from my nose. The droopiness and projection in some angles have bothered me for a long time. How would I go about getting a conservative rhinoplasty so to speak? As I don't want it to be that much of a change.

Answer: Primary Cosmetic Rhinoplasty From the photos that you have provided, you appear to be a perfect candidate for a primary cosmetic rhinoplasty. It is very common for patients to want to maintain their ethnic identity when consulting for a rhinoplasty or any cosmetic surgery. The projection of your nose is good for your face shape such that subtle but artistic changes can be made to your nose to create a more balanced and feminine look for your face. Possible changes to consider would be lessening the bump at your bridge, bringing up the columella so that it does not hang too low from the frontal view, refining the tip just a bit, and picking up the tip such that it would not droop over time. Going forward, I would recommend you to complete multiple in office consultations with board certified facial plastic surgeons to discuss your ideal outcome. This way, they can assess your goals in person and determine the best treatment for you. Best of luck! Kian Karimi MD, FACS

Answer: Conservative rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. This is actually a very common request. Not every patient wants an Instagram Barbie doll nose. The most important thing is to discuss your ideal nose with your doctor and come to a common ground on what it achievable.

Answer: What You Need to Know Before Undergoing Rhinoplasty Thank you for providing a photo along with your question. Based on these images, I think you can benefit from dorsal hump reduction. I recommend an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon to find out if you’d make a good candidate for rhinoplasty. A skilled and experienced surgeon should be able to perform an accurate assessment through a visual examination of your profile and successfully perform the complex procedure. Only highly experienced surgeons can help you safely achieve natural-looking results. Look for surgeons with a strong portfolio.
