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: Rhinoplasty evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. Although an exam in person is ideal, from your photographs alone it appears that you can benefit from a subtle dorsal hump reduction and a tip rhinoplasty where the nasal tip cartilage is modified for a more refined, feminine look -- your nose does not appear significantly droopy as much as it has excess columellar show; moreover, deprojection of the nasal tip may over-rotate the nose and so I would be careful in that regard...

Answer: Conservative Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question! Rhinoplasty or "nose job" procedures can help shape, define, and modify the nose's appearance. Per your images and descriptions, your concerns could be improved with this procedure. It is possible to maintain your nose's natural look while making minor corrections and even assist with the nose base retracting when smiling which can make the appearance of the tip project or droop down. There are multiple areas of the nose both internal and external that all work in conjunction for the overall appearance. It is important to find a provider who is qualified and knowledgeable in these procedures to ensure best results. Your physician should do a full facial evaluation, understand your goals especially if you would like to remain conservative, and provide the best treatment plan to get to your desired results.

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.
