My nose is definitely one of my biggest insecurities. It looks a bit deviated in pictures as it is wide. There are these bumps, I guess, on the sides or excessive cartilage? Not sure. Overall, the nose just isn't defined and when I smile, there is no bridge and the nose droops down. Is there a simulation that can show me what is possible with a rhinoplasty? I also scar easily so that's also something that's been holding me back from going through with a surgery. Thank you!

Answer: Creating a natural nose Thank you for this question. Creating a nose that fits with the rest of the face is a primary and essential goal of rhinoplasty. In your case, I recommend a face-to-face consultation and use computer simulation to determine your goals for your desires nose appearance. That helps both you and the surgeon better understand your face and the nose's relation to the rest of your face. Based on the photos, it looks like augmentation of the high nasal bridge with reduction of the width of the nose at the mid and lower aspects will help to create an ideal shape. Reduction in the width of the nostrils, reduction of the thickness of the skin / underlying SMAS tissue, addition of cartilage define the nasal tip will likely be able to give you the look you are seeking. Hope that helps and good luck!

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a narrower and less distracting nasal appearance. Based on your photos, you appear to have relatively thick nasal skin with a wide nasal appearance and a droopy tip. You are correct that you can see portions of your tip cartilage through your skin. If you have great dissatisfaction with the appearance of your nose, please consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
