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: Rhinoplasty Dear abigailgarnicaThanks for the question. It’s not easy to comment based solely on one photo but it’s possible to restore the symmetry of your nose and front view. Probably it will be 2 hours surgery under general anesthesia and basic recovery time will be 10-14 days. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Rhinoplasty full tip Yes, significant improvement can be obtained with a rhinoplasty regarding your nasal tip. Click on the web link below, go to the photo gallery and look at case # 2889, 2855 and 2543. If you are looking at a combination of rhinoplasty and chin implant which is very common go to the rhinoplasty site and look at the combination procedures. The septum can be addressed and perhaps the nasals polls. For sure bring in your MRI results at the time of your consultation. You are doing the right ting s so that you are not a "re-do" rhinoplasty patient!For sure you need a face-to-face consultation to deal with all of your issues.Sincerely, Michael Kulick MD Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, San Francisco Ca Member of ASPS, ASAPS Recipient of the Klingbeil Award – Teaching Safe Techniques and Advanced Technologies

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You seem like a good candidate for rhinoplasty so I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. It is important that your nose has a shape and size that is both proportional and symmetrical to your face, while also having good function. Best wishes,

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.
