What should I tell my doctor when I describe the result I want from a rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I think my nose is to skinny and pointy on it's bridge, I think it's wide on the sides, and fat at the bottom near by pointy nostrils. I think I should describe the upturned look with a flat nose bridge, what do you think my end result should be that I will describe to my doctor?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Do you appear to have an overprojected nasal appearance and a droopy tip. That means that your bridge sticks out too far, and your tip tends to go downward, especially when you smile. When you go to a consultation, alert your doctor what bothers you about your nose, and for how long. After an examination and listening to your concerns, computer imaging may be a good way to establish goals of surgery. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

While a description is helpful, even better is bringing photos of noses you like. At that point, I generally perform computer image processing of your current nose to see if we are on the same page regarding your desired outcome. Keep in mind, these processed images are not a promise, but more to help you and your surgeon understand your goals.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

A good surgeon will be able to help you define what is wrong with your nose and what can be improved. I think you are a good candidate for  rhinoplasty. Choose a highly experienced  rhinoplasty surgeon and you’ll be fine

Hello. I think you should first talk about the points that bother you about your nose rather than giving details in the doctor's interview. your doctor will do you a smilation study. and you can offer your suggestions on it.
