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

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question for get rid of this image I recommend you lip lift surgery.
Also if you can send your photos from side and front profile we can make true evaluate.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!
At the time of rhinoplasty, the surgeon removes the cartilage to augment the tip to make it project more. This will refine the tip and the dorsal hump will also be removed. Also, I recommend a chin implant. This will make your nose and face look more balanced.

At 9 months, most of the swelling should be gone. However, you can still have some swelling. I would recommend giving it at least 1 year before doing anything. I would not recommend a revision.
