Any suggestions? I do have diagnosed anxiety and find it hard to breathe due to anxiety. I don't take any medication for my anxiety. I've had this for almost 20 years where I find it difficult to breathe well. Nothing to do with my actual nose though, however I'm afraid I'll be so anxious if I'm not able to breathe from my nose after procedure. Wondering if I could do a tip Plasty without going under. Let me know thoughts and opinions, thanks.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and anxiety Very likely, based on these photos, that full rhinoplasty rather than tip-plasty would be procedure to consider in your case. However, it would be in your best interest to address your anxiety issue before undergoing nose surgery. Rhinoplasty is known to increase level of anxiety before and, in particular, after procedure. In person consultation with a good psychiatrist is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Fixing the nasal tip, concerned about breathing problems following the procedure You're not gonna be able to undergo a tip-only rhinoplasty procedure, you must undergo a full rhinoplasty to ensure that the entire components of the nose are balanced with each other in a three dimensional fashion. A closed rhinoplasty approach is less invasive, and involves reduction of the bulbous nasal tip, lifting the nasal tip and shaving down the dorsal hump that you have. Also important to release the depressor septi ligament, which dynamically pulls the tip downward when smiling. When patients have severe anxiety, you're gonna be much better off having this procedure done under general anesthesia. A steroid shot on the inside of the nose will help reduce the amount of swelling on the inside of the nose from the rhinoplasty, so that you can still have some airflow in the postoperative recovery.
