Slimmer nose, fix small upper lip and heavily hooded eyes - what procedure do you recommend? (Photos)

Question

Don't like my nose I wish it was slimmer towards the bottom I don't entirely hate it just feel like if it was slimmer at the bottom would make me look better ,also curious if I need a lip lift because my upper lip is so small or would lip fillers work,my eyes also stick out a lot alot they are heavily heavily hooded so what can be done for all these issues

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I never recommend a lip lift at the same time as rhinoplasty. Upper blepharoplasty  can safely be done at the same time, but you don’t appear to need one.  I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Based on your photos, you appear to have relatively thin skin, with a bulbous and over-projected tip. That means that your tip sticks out a bit too far. That said, you overall appear to have a pleasing nasal appearance. Rhinoplasty surgery should only be considered in those patients that have severe dissatisfaction with their nasal appearances for many years, since it is impossible to undo, if results do not live up to somebody's expectations. You're upper eyelids appear normal, and it is difficult to evaluate your lips only on profile. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Based on your nice post of photos, I recommend virtual consultation, but I agree with a full rhinoplasty for tip reduction and narrowing the nose with fractures and an upper lip lift with 1 cc of HA filler to upper lip combination. Fees for just those procedures is $12,000-$18,000. Again best of virtual concert with as for your upper eyelids I am concerned you might have thyroid issues and would need to work up or you have some laxity the upper eyelid and should see an ophthalmologist for that, therefore I would not recommend doing any upper eyelid surgery at this time until you’ve worked up the possible issues of thyroid disease or laxity of the upper eyelids. Again, best of virtual consult with.
