30 yrs old. How to balance the side profile of my nose?

Hello, I’m 30 years old and for as long as I can remember I’ve always hated one side of my nose more than the other. What kind of procedure can augment one nostril that seems to be recessed more than the other. Please see pictures for details..

Deprojection is closely related to the front view, not only the side profile. The simulation you created may appear slightly shorter than what would be ideal for your facial proportions, which could affect the overall balance both in profile and from the front.

I can see some of the natural highlights of folds of the tip cartilages under the skin, and we wouldn't be able to see that if your skin were thick. It just looks like you have strong, broad tip cartilages that make the tip look wide and make it hang in a low position. Couple things about the...

First, to directly answer your primary question, I don't like the idea of *not* doing osteotomies. You have a strong nose from the frontal view, and you don't want it any stronger, I'm thinking. *Any* lowering of a bump would make the nose wider in the upper half of the nose, and it's that...

If you are unhappy with the shape or projection of your nose, rhinoplasty can be an effective solution. Rhinoplasty does not worsen nasolabial folds, but it also does not correct them. If your main concern is the prominence of the nasolabial folds, an endoscopic midface lift may provide a more...
