How does a nose job affect the rest of your face? (photos)

Hi,The nose is the centre of the face and it does attract a lot of attention. It also is one of the foundations of facial proportion and the nose will then add to or detract from other features.The perfect balance is going to based on proportion and this defines the ideal length and shape of the nose to allow the other features to appear in harmony.A large nose often makes the eyes and mouth appear small and addressing this can alter the appearance of other facial features simply by allowing them the ability to be features.Assessment of the options is the key and from there a decision regarding surgery is going to be possible.I hope that helpsJeremy Hunt 

You are an excellent candidate for male reduction rhinoplasty to shave down the hump, improve the alignment and de-rotate the tip; tip reduction and a slight shortening are also suitable.

After reviewing your photos, I think that you are a perfect candidate for surgical rhinoplasty.  By removing your dorsal hump and de-projecting the nose (shortening), I think your facial balance will be greatly improved.  An in-office physical examination would be necessary, but I believe you may also benefit from a chin implant.  I recommend seeking out a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will accurately examine your nose, create a "simulation" that will allow you to see what your nose COULD look like after surgery, and formulate a plan tailored to your wishes. Good luck!

Dear psycho2085In my experience, a rhinoplasty can bring great balance to you face by de-emphasizing your nose and making your eyes, cheeks and lips appear more noticeable. You appear to have a prominent cartilagenous dorsum that can be shaped nicely to give you a great profile. Although it would require an exam, based on my experience over the years, you would be at high risk for internal nasal valve collapse with rhinoplasty. I suggest a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to fully understand the surgery in general and risks specific to your case. I always suggest more than one consult so you can make an informed decision.

The rhinoplasty procedure can address removing the dorsal hump, reduction of the projection of the nose, and straightening the nasal bones. To determine the effect on the rest of the face after a rhinoplasty, you can be  your own judge by looking at the photo gallery below

Improving the proportions of your nose with a rhinoplasty can often improve the balance of your facial features. Decreasing the prominence of your nose should help make your eyes look relatively larger and less sunken. Therefore it is unlikely that you would need a separate surgery for the eyes to address your concerns. Probably the most important thing, however,  is to communicate your specific goals to your surgeon and make sure they are confident that they can be achieved before proceeding with surgery.

Hello, and thank you for your question.If you look in the mirror, do you think your nose affects the rest of your face? The answer to that is obviously yes, as you would not be looking at websites like this one if you did not think that your nose is affecting how you look.So, the very things that you do not like and that affect how people see you, is what Plastic Surgeons aim to adjust. The adjustment tackles the issue about your nose that concerns you, which in turn affects how your face as a whole appears to others.So, just like anything else, modifying one part will affect the look of the whole.This is exactly what Plastic Surgeons are trained to do. Whether we apply it to cancer surgery, reconstructive surgery, or cosmetic surgery, the principles are the same.Speak to a Plastic Surgeon. Sit down with him. Show him. Tell him how you feel. Then he can do a detailed assessment and discuss with you your options, so that you can have a realistic view of what options exist for your specific case. Each patient is different- I have never seen or heard the same set factors twice. So your surgery options will need to be tailored for your face and combination of facial features.After this discussion you will be better equipped to make decisions about what you want to do.I hope this has been of value for you and wish you well.
