Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and photos. While rhinoplasty with an alar base reduction can make your nostrils appear more narrow and redefine your nasal tip, you may benefit more from chin enhancements. A chin that appears too small compared to the other facial features can contribute to a weak jawline and make the nose appear larger. A properly-sized implant is an ideal choice for creating a well-defined jawline contour. You can also undergo dermal filler treatments to experiment with changes to your nose and chin before making a decision.

If you decide to go forward with rhinoplasty, please keep in mind that it is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with you to help you decide on the best treatment option.

Based on these photos, I would not consider you as a good candodate for rhinoplasty; to me your nose looks very proportional and in harmony with your face. However, your profile reveals smal chin! Augmentation with chin implant would further imrove facial balance and harmony. Hope this helps.

Hi @Tasteful633134. Thank you for sharing your photos. You would be a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima
