Will I be able to get a rhinoplasty? Bulbous nose (Photo)

Hi @lizvcrbz! I recommend seeing a rhinoplasty specialist for in person examination. There are several options for you to address your bulbous tip that can be determined after examination. A rhinoplasty in my opinion is one of the most difficult procedures to perform. The skill, artistry, and technique of the surgeon will determine your outcome. In my practice, I utilize piezosurgery. Piezosurgery is a more gentle technique that allows for greater precision. Less bruising and swelling is common with Piezosurgery. In a typical rhinoplasty, a hammer and chisel technique is performed leading to more inadvertent fractures. I hope this was helpful! Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Greetings Dear

Thank you for your question. The Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty ıs the best.

In traditional Rhinoplasty, surgical instruments known as rasps and osteotomies (hammer and chisel) are used to reshape the nasal bones by removing the hump and/or narrowing the nasal bone width. These tools are relatively imprecise and their use can lead to contour irregularities, etc. if not used in the proper manner. Recently, a technology that uses sound waves has been developed to contour nasal bones in a precise and far less traumatic way when compared to traditional techniques. Ultrasonic, or Piezo, Rhinoplasty is now the most advanced technology available for minimally traumatic nasal bone reshaping and hump removal during Rhinoplasty. There will be hardly any bruising and swelling which will make the recovery period a lot easier for the patient.

The skin thickness of your nose is not the cause of its shape, and so isotretinoin will not be effective. Radiesse and/or your natural tip cartilages are the cause. During a rhinoplasty, any radiesse would be visualized and removed, and your natural tip cartilages would be modified by reshaping and reinforcing with cartilage grafts to achieve a natural result with definition.
