Hi. I’m a 38yo female. Fit and well. I dislike my nose - especially on my side profile. It seems short/upturned with alar retraction and a hanging columella. I’ve never had surgery before. Is it possible to have this surgically corrected? And if so what is the best way of finding a surgeon capable of doing a good job based in the uk? Most surgeons post results of fixing bumps/large noses, I’m not sure who is best to approach for this (more specialised?) procedure. Thanks, Stacy

Answer: Open rhinoplasty I would recommend open rhinoplasty. The septal cartilage would be harvested to extend the length of your nose to give you better tip definition. Also, the hanging columella could be corrected at the same time. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Yes, it's possible to address the concerns you've mentioned through rhinoplasty. To find a qualified surgeon in the UK, consider researching board-certified plastic surgeons or ENT surgeons who specialize in rhinoplasty. Look for professionals with experience in refining nasal aesthetics, including addressing issues like alar retraction and columellar concerns. You can start by checking online reviews, seeking recommendations from trusted sources, and reviewing before-and-after photos provided by potential surgeons. Schedule consultations with several surgeons to discuss your specific concerns and assess their expertise in the areas you want to address. This way, you can make an informed decision based on your comfort level and the surgeon's experience.
