What would you recommend in terms of reshaping and lifting technique? (Photos)

Question

I am undergoing a medically necessary septoplasty as as I’ve always disliked my side profile have decided to combine it with open rhinoplasty. I am yet to book the surgery or have a cosmetic consultation and would really appreciate opinions on what technique and shape would b beautify what I am already working with without looking over done. also like to know if you would recommend any adjustments to my chin to improve overall look. Thank you for your time. I appreciate any and all response

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a Rhinoplasty. Maneuvers would include dorsal hump reduction, tip elevation, tip refinement, Nasal Tip Deprojection, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Based on your photos, you appear to have relatively thin nasal scan with an over projected appearance of your profile, in the lower 1/3 of your nose. Goals of surgery may include bridge lowering and tip lifting for a less distracting and more feminine nasal profile appearance. The expertise of your surgeon is most important in achieving a desired result. In that regard, please choose your surgeon wisely. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Of the two procedures you're considering—septoplasty and rhinoplasty—the rhinoplasty requires more skill and experience. Ideally, your choice of surgeon should reflect this.

In your profile view, two concerns stand out. First, there is a moderate prominence of your nasal bridge. Lowering this would create better overall balance and proportionately lift your tip. Second, you might consider a chin implant to further enhance the balance of your profile.

You seem to be a good candidate  for septorhinoplasty. In some offices where significant number of rhinoplasties is performed you may find a 3D simulation that will help you to visualize your projected result. It will help  to develop the plan of surgery with your board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in nose surgery. Good luck.

The main problem is that your bridge is too prominent and needs to be lowered. And the tip needs to be raised up. This can be accomplished either with open ur closed rhinoplasty
