How would I go about improving my features with a rhinoplasty? South Indian F, 18 yrs (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question and the pictures. Addressing the shape of your nose (especially the bridge and nasal tip) is actually one of the most common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty. An open septorhinoplasty can best address both your aesthetic concerns and any functional issues with your nose. I would be able to adjust the size, shape, and definition of your nose (particularly the bridge and the tip)! I'd be able to give you a nose that respects your cultural background and naturally fits your face!

This truly a surgery of millimeters- and whether you're looking for a minor adjustment or a major transformation, it requires exceptional surgical skill to achieve functional and natural-looking results! Because your nose is the DEFINING feature of your face- I would only recommend seeing a surgeon who specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty procedures, and who has significant training and experience performing these surgeries. I actually trained under one of the world leading ethnic rhinoplasty experts (who performs 1,000+ nosejobs annually).

I recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with ethnic rhinoplasties) to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate your options, and develop a personalized plan just for you. I hope this helps!

Based on your photos, you appear to have a wide nasal appearance on front view and a profile bump, and perhaps a droopy tip on profile. Generally, goals of rhinoplasty or to make somebody's nose less distracting and perhaps more feminine in appearance. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer imaging so you could see what to expect after surgery. Wishing you well moving forward! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The bridge could be taken down and the tip refined all while keeping things looking natural. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.
