Side profile feels flat - am I a candidate for rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Question

I have always had some insecurities about my nose, I don’t love my side profile. Something about my nose just has always seemed off to me. Whenever I state insecurities about my nose my friends always tell me they don’t see anything wrong with it. I feel like it lacks definition from the front, and my side profile just kind of feels flat. I’m not sure if it’s because my nose projects out more than my chin? A professional opinion would be great! Thanks (:

Based on your photos, you appear to have a pleasing nasal profile appearance. On front view, your nose is a bit wide, but this is associated with a relatively wide facial appearance and is not terribly distracting. If you have persistent dissatisfaction with your nasal appearance, consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs.

As your friends have mentioned to you, there is nothing much wrong with the appearance of your nose. You may wish to achieve a different character for the profile and frontal views, but this is more in alignment with your aesthetic preferences.

Aspects that you could explore in relation to the profile view include injectable filler at the top of the bridge (

at the radix) and at the base of the columella and nasal tip to create the impression that the nose has "moved forward".

The injectable filler treatment does not make the nose appear more defined from the front view.

If you find that the changes that you have achieved with filler give you the answer is that you seek, surgery can also operate similar adjustments.

It is possible to analyse also in computer simulations that type of changes on profile informed view that you feel would suit you better and this allows you to decide whether surgery would be meaningful or not.

In the side view of your nose, the ridge of the nose is straight and there is a slight irregularity. being straight gives a bit of a serious expression but this gives a masculine look. A slight curve is good for women.
