I’ve been considering rhinoplasty for more than 10 years now and I can finally afford the procedure at age 31. I know I need straightened, deprojection, dorsal reduction, rotation/refinement of bulbous tip. (At least) Does any of this require grafting? For instance, would a graft help if I am fearful of ending up with a pinched looking round tip? I really want the tip to have some “edge lines” rather than look just round. Please give any suggestions.
Answer: Rhinoplasty: things you should know Thank you for your question and photos. The changes you mentioned can be successfully achieved during rhinoplasty. Your nose can be straightened, the tip redefined and deprojected, and the dorsal hump reduced. Grafts may be necessary to provide adequate structural support if you have thin nasal skin, to straighten the nose, or to lift the nasal tip.

Answer: Please consult with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists. Based on your photos, you appear to have somewhat of a crooked nasal appearance with a bulbous droopy tip a dorsal hump and nostril asymmetry. Since you have thin nasal skin, the expertise of your surgeon is very important. Insofar as grafting goes, we place a columella strut graft in nearly everybody to add additional tip support. Other reason for cartilage grafting may be to improve your nasal Airway. Many times, when we're downsizing someone's nose, very few cartilage grafts are required

Answer: Rhinoplasty to improve shape... Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. All of the things you mentioned can be done to create a smaller, better defined nose. Usually some cartilage grafting from your septum is done to support the nose, better define it, and keep from pinching. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case regarding the information you provided and your photos.From the photos it looks like your nose is a bit deviated to the left, you have a bulbous droopy nose and the tip is long. From the photos it doesn't look like you need cartilage reconstruction. But of course this can be decided only during face to face consultation.By the way I also recommend you a lip lifting on the same time with rhinoplasty. Lip lifting is a surgical procedure, which aims to reduce the distance between the columella (base of the nose) and the vermilion border (red upper lip line). This distance tends to elongate with age, although it can be congenitally long even in young people. Lip lifting + Rhinoplasty would be a very good combination in your case. But of course if you want to proceed only for rhinoplasty surgery, the result would be good in both cases :)
