from the front the nose looks ok, u can't tell there's something wrong. But from the profile it's just horrible. The question is, what can I do with it? Is there a good chances for a good results ? Is it just the tip ? Do u recommend to leave it or fix it? I don't want to make it worse. Thank u
Answer: I think my nose is too pointy and sharp. When I talk the tip moves up and down. Improving the nasal tip to achieve an improved natural appearing cosmetic result is a frequent request of patients wanting nasal refinement. It is possible to improve the cosmetic appearance of the tip alone without altering the rest of the nose in some patients. Whether the optimal option in your particular situation would be a tip rhinoplasty alone or a full rhinoplasty would best be determined at a consultation. Either procedure can be performed with a closed or open approach. Following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla,California

Answer: Rhinoplasty with tip de-projection Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. You may also benefit from a nasal tip de-projection. 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. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty The concept of shortening and widening your nasal tip must be combined with taking down your nasal hump which will become 'exposed' when the tip position changes.

Answer: Full rhinoplasty candidate A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish making the changes to the nose with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. The nasal tip can be made less pointy and less projecting. The dorsal hump can be shaved down, and the tip and bridge line narrowed and refined. For more information and many before-and-after results, please see the link and the video below
