Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty to remove bump and nostrils? (Photos)

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos you have hump on the bridge and your nostrils are upward. Your deviation can be fixed during the rhinoplasty surgery. For get rid of this issues I can suggest you rhinoplasty surgery. Also for the nostrils you may need external graft. The healing process is due to your skin type it would be approximately 6 months. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

You appear to have thin nasal skin which may be more prone to show irregularities after rhinoplasty as compared to those with thicker skin types. Be sure to consult with a reputable rhinoplasty specialist. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Hello, thanks for your question. The answer is yes, we can achive to take the bump and make the nostril smaller, and make the breathing normal as well. Also you're right, you have the deviation espacially externally (the dorsum looks deviated to the left), and most probably inside of the nose. Your skin quality seem good to have rhinoplasty. The bruising and swelling last aproximately 7 days. You can get back to your social life after that. You're always welcome to Turkey.

Thank you for your question and pictures. Rhinoplasty surgery will be very beneficial for you. The hump can be removed, nostril size can be smaller, nasal wings can be narrower. These changes will give your nose a natural , more feminine look that will complement your facial features.
I personally use open technique called Piezo. This technique allows us to make the process easıer with minimal bruising and swelling. Deviated septum be corrected during your surgery as well. Best wishes.

Hi Chlo98! Thanks for your question. At least from your photos, you are certainly a candidate for rhinoplasty. A surgical rhinoplasty would be able to lower your dorsum (remove the bump) and also de-rotate and de-project the tip of the nose so that your nostrils show less on both the front and side views. Also, with cartilage grafting and special maneuvers like an alar base excision (Weir excision), the nostril size can be decreased further and the ala can be better supported.
Bruising after a rhinoplasty is nearly resolved at 1 week and almost always fully resolved at 2 weeks. Swelling can last anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks or longer depending on your anatomy and the extent of the surgery. I always counsel my patients that in some cases for primary rhinoplasty, the final "product" is really not visible until 1 year.

Thank you for your questions and sharing your photographs.

In your situation, the nostril show is mostly driven by the low position of the nostril sill. It would benefit from lifting slightly the upper lip and reducing the prominence of the base of the columella. It can be combined with a slight downward rotation of the nasal tip but this is not critical.

Reducing the nasal bridge bump can be achieved through a variety of techniques and ultrasonic rhinoplasty tends to produce good results without the impression that the bridge has become wider.

Treatment for the septal deviation is part of the rhinoplasty procedure to try and create an appearance of the nasal bridge and tip that is more symmetric. In your case, the nasal bridge appears to be slightly deviated to the left. In addition to management of septal deviation, it is possible to adjust the position of the lower turbinates to assist with the nasal airway.

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Most plastic surgeons like to perform lip lift procedures at a separate time. Best wishes to you

You would be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. Reducing the bump and altering the nostrils are very common techniques performed during rhinoplasty surgery. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your anatomy and discuss your specific goals. They will examine your nose and assess your breathing, which may be caused by a deviated septum as you mentioned. This can also be addressed at the time of rhinoplasty surgery. I would recommend consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in rhinoplasty surgery.

Based on your photos and history, you seem to be a good candodate for rhinoplasty, possibly septorhinoplasty if you have problems with breathing. In person consultation or a teleconference with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, is recommended. Good luck.

Is Rhinoplasty‘s for you? based on the photograph of your profile it appears that you have a very high nasolabial angle. That means that the tip of your nose goes up at a very high angle in relation to your upper lip. If that angle is left high and the dorsal hump is removed it may exaggerate the look of the upward angulation . take a picture of yourself from the profile then print it. Then take a black pen and remove the dorsal hump and see if your nose looks like the tip is going even higher by reducing the dorsal hump. In some cases where the nose is short and the tip angle high A septal extension graft may be added to lengthen the nose and lower the high angulation of the tip. This however has minimal benefit in most cases. So think twice about getting your nose done. And if you do decide to get it done be sure to discuss this matter with your surgeon to make sure you don’t wind up with a nose which is too short and a tip which is too high.
