Have read that bulbous noses are hard to treat & results are particularly unpredictable. Main concern is how large nose is from front and wide nostrilsnostrils from side. Seems to be ridge on tip of nose + tip feels upturnedupturned+hard. Have slight deviated septum + polyps present on MRI & want to handle these issues too. Worth getting rhinoplasty or too risky for my nose type? Can I do chin implant first and rhino at later date without compromising over all facial assemetry?

Answer: Nose, chin and neck surgery Based on your photos it seems that you are good candidate for rhinoplasty. I see no reasons for concerns regarding desired improvement. Whether you may need a chin implant or neck shaping (neck lift vs. liposuction) would be sufficient to correct visually smaller chin, can be determined only on the basis of in person evaluation. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in nose surgery and facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and chin implant Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Septoplasty can be performed at the same time. A chin implant and submental liposuction can be performed at the same time for improved jaw line contour. I always use a medpor implant with screw fixation, which stays in place over time. A silicone chin implant has a high rate of malrotation over time. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
