I am very self conscious about my nose due to the reason that when I smile my nose shifts downwards and touches the top of my lip. It’s as if my lip is too close to my nose tip. The point of my nose seems to make a point when I smile. What can be done?
Answer: How to treat a drooping nasal tip Thank you for your question and photos. It appears you may benefit from a rhinoplasty procedure that would refine your nasal bridge and rotate your tip slightly to eliminate the droopy appearance. Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is a very complex plastic surgery procedure that requires precision, expertise, and artistry to perform correctly. Choose a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in rhinoplasty techniques to ensure the best possible result.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Your nose would benefit from shortening and narrowing and this could be accomplished with a standard closed rhinoplasty. Also, consider alar wedge resection to reduced the flaring of your nostrils. I get the impression you feel this would be a complicated rhinoplasty, but it really is pretty basic. Just make sure you get multiple opinions and choose your surgeon carefully. You shouldn’t need anything fancy like cartilage grafts but I’m sure surgeons will recommend them.

Answer: The plunging tip Hi The good news is that there is the potential to markedly improve the tip by elevating is upwards (rotating) and the securing it in the correct position. There are lots of ways to do this and it may involve attaching the tip onto a secure cartilage foundation to avoid it dropping again in the future. There is also a muscle going from the upper lip into the tip which can be divided to avoid the downward pull on the tip as you smile. This would in effect, lengthen the upper lip somewhat to enhance the overall appearance. Hope this helps Santdeep Paun

Answer: Droopy nose A tip plasty can effectively reduce this. In some cases a full rhinoplasty might be needed. Your nose is on the large side and a reduction rhinoplasty might be needed. Reduction Rhinoplasty Reduction rhinoplasty is the term used for making a big nose smaller. However it can have many components. 1. Large as in sticking out on side view. 2. Large as in big tip 3. Wide nostrils 4. Wide bones in the front view. 5. Dorsal hump making it look big. All these can be addressed together or separately depending on the individual situation. Regards Dr. J
