Sam Rizk, MD · Answer

Any experienced plastic surgeon will confirm
that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to rhinoplasty. Each nose is
conformed on a case-by-case basis and is designed to fit the patient’s specific
wants and needs. Though looking through before and after photos of past
patients can give you a better understanding of what to expect from your
doctor’s work, your surgeon should work diligently to ensure that your nose is
re-constructed tastefully and naturally with your particular facial
characteristics in mind. “Choosing the right nose” is something that you and
your surgeon will work together to enact.

Many surgeons use imaging to make sure that your goals and theirs are in-line. My imaging is very close to the actual results as it will be with most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons. I won't operate on a patient uunless they are happy with the projected results. A confident surgeon will stand by his imaging and his work.

Contrary to the perception of some, you do not get to pick the nose you want from rhinoplasty. Rather all that can be achieved is to make the best changes with the nasal anatomy that you have. An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon can use computer imaging to show you realistic rhinoplasty results.

I do not like the imaging software of this, because I think it can give a false sense of results. It does not take into consideration the underlying anatomy, the thickness of the tissues, or the healing properties of the patient.

The fact is you don't have that many options or choices as far as the type of nose. Getting a rhinoplasty isn't like picking paint color at Home Depot or rearranging your bedroom furniture. Usually there is only one type of nose that fits your face. But you can give hint and guidance to your surgeon as far as what "type" of nose you like: i.e. "Cute" "Natural" or "in between". You can't pick a precise outcome or shape. Rather put your effort into choosing the right surgeon. The right surgeon will guide you in the right path and use computer imaging to help you understand what nose fits your face best but more importantly WHAT NOSE IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE. These are important facts. Now based on your picture on your profile I see a beautiful face with a boxy tip and while it's hard to tell from your one small image perhaps an asymmetric dorsal hump and correcting these is best. Depending on your height I prefer a nose in between cute and natural for you. Choose wisely.
