Can my nasion be lowered through Rhinoplasty? (photos)

A rhinoplasty will refine your bulbous tip, remove the hump, narrow the bridge, cut the nasal tip depressors, etc. The most important part however is choosing a surgeon who does very natural noses and is very experienced!

Hi Your radix is fairly high but could be improved with a rhinoplasty. It could run from $4000 to as high as $8000 or more. RealSelf has a section that give you estimates of costs for all procedures. Look up the Miami or South Florida area. At our institute, the costs run approximately $5000 depending on the degree of work required. Never let costs determine your surgeon. You need to seek the advise of a board certified surgeon with plenty of experience. Remember this is your face....can't cover it up! Furthermore request to see before and after photos of previous patients by that doctor....not a clinic or surgery center. Do your homework......research and verify the doctor's credentials. Have they had problems with the Board of Medicine, disciplinary or otherwise. Any law suits?How about the center, clinic or facility? Are they accredited by a national organization or do they just have State approval. Understand that at the current time, there are three nationally recognized organizations responsible for the highest levels of patient safety, AAAASF, AAACH and JCHO. You owe it to yourself to position yourself for the best possible results but under the most stringent safety regulations, If you have kids, even more so.How about anesthesia? Will you have a medical doctor certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology or a certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA)? Understand that there is no substitute for research. Cosmetic surgery, no matter how simple it may be to the patients, are invasive procedures and as such carry certain risks and complications.In our office we use TouchMD which is a web based program in which patients have the ability to load their picture unto the program. We accomodate patinets from as far away as California. I then evaluate them and can actually draw on the picture to show a potential patient where the incisions would be located and how the procedure is to be realized. It's all done to comply with HIPPA which is the federal law that protects the patient's medical information. Look them up. Good luck, Dr PG

Yes.  Rhinoplasty can improve this.   I would
search for the
board certified plastic surgeon who you
feel is most likely to give you
the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each
year. I would look at reviews and before and after pictures on that
surgeon's website. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
