Curved beak part is flexible and feels like overgrown cartilage to me.Is it possible to get tip lifted,made smaller and more refined with bridge straight.And,with an open rhinoplasty with some grafting,what are the odds for a good outcome with no return of the pollybeak?

Answer: There are a number of ways to treat a pollybeak deformity of the nose First, you didn't state if you had surgery before. Polly beak deformities come from a number of causes. For primary rhinoplasty it's most commonly from either too high cartilage in the top of the septum above the tip and/or a weak nasal tip. Revision surgery adds the presence of scar tissue and over reduction of the bony part of the nose. Either way, they can be fixed. A single photo will not suffice to give specific recommendations but a number of the procedures you mentioned could help. In skilled hands, a good outcome is very achievable.

Answer: Polly beak A rhinoplasty will correct this by removing some of the dorsal septum and bone that makes up your dorsal profile. In addition, I would recommend reducing some of the tip projection as well.

Answer: Is it realistic to believe there's hope for getting rid of this massive polly beak of mine? Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an in person examination (not just an online consultation) and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do and how technically to do it based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California
