Which surgery is best for my nose?

What you want done is completely up to you.Rhinoplasty typically starts at $5,500 depending on the area you live. To make sure you get the best possible result, the surgeon should perform a detailed exam of the nose and provide a realistic goal that you and your surgeon agree upon. Rhinoplasty are permanent, but with age facial features do change. Find a surgeon and go for a consult, I think you would be very happy after the surgery.

A rhinoplasty will correct all of the issues involved both aesthetically and functionally. The nose can be straightened so that your airway is much better etc. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does noses that look natural.

After reviewing your photos, I believe that you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty.  I feel your nose would be more refined by reducing your dorsal hump, narrowing your tip and creating a more aesthetic balance to your face.  I recommend consulting with a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will accurately examine your nose, create a simulation based on what your nose COULD look like after surgery, and create a plan tailored to your needs.  Best wishes!

Hello.  Please understand that the definitive answer to your question rests with an in-person consultation.  Based on your description, you may be suffering from a deviated septum (wall between the two nostrils).  This requires an examination to diagnose.  A septoplasty may be combined with a rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery) to affect the appearance of the nose.If you like, please follow the link below.  The article on Septoplasty contains useful diagrams and may assist in your understanding of the process.  Hope this is helpful.  Best wishes.  Dr. Shah

 A closed rhinoplasty approach can address straightening the crooked nose, and removing the dorsal hump. Since the dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage, it must be surgically shaved down in order to remove it and to give an aesthetically pleasing profile. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are required to straighten the crooked nose. There are many issues inside the nose that can cause nasal obstruction such as a deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, valve collapse, allergies and chronic sinusitis. Each one of these issues are treated differently with either medications or surgery. Examination of the internal portion of the nose will determine what the cause of the obstruction is. Functional nasal surgery to improve air flow can also be performed at the same time as a cosmetic rhinoplasty.
