I want an inward curve to my nose which would be more feminine, and right now there is an outward curve, and a small bump. I know the bump is very mild. It's not the existence of a small bump that bothers me but rather the fact that my nose doesn't have a gentle inward curve. It has an outward curve instead. What do u recommend, if anything? Can they stick something in my nose, shave it down, and thats it? And do my nose bones have to be broken to solve my problem? pics attached.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Candidate I would recommend starting with a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty surgery to discuss if rhinoplasty can address your concerns. I would recommend writing down the following questions before scheduling your consultation: 1. Are you unhappy with the tip of your nose? 2. Do you feel that your nose is too wide? 3. Do you want to make your nostrils smaller in appearance? 4. Are you looking to decrease the general size of your nose? I hope some of these questions will help you pinpoint what it is that you don't like about your nose. I wish you the best as you research your options when scheduling a rhinoplasty consultation. Sincerely, Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty In order to improve your nose and achieve a more feminine and elegant nose- it will require a Cosmetic surgical Rhinoplasty. A "non-invasive" HA filler will never change the bones, or cartilage. Rhinoplasty is a very challenging procedure and requires experience, artistic approach. Be sure to seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person exam

Answer: Nasal evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. If you are interested in a noninvasive treatment, a nonsurgical filler such as juvederm can be used as a temporary treatment. If you are looking for a permanent solution, then a surgical rhinoplasty would be the better option. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. You may also benefit from a dorsal hump reduction. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Thank you for your question. In my opinion, you’ll get a much better result with surgery. In order to treat the bump of your nose one would need to shave it down and break the nasal bones. I incorporate the FINNESSE technique which I invented. I routinely do not pack the nose. Pain, bruising and recovery are minimal when compared to traditional techniques. I have had some patients wake up giggling after surgery. During the consultation I like to find out all of your goals. I divide the nose into the nasal bridge, nasal tip, and the angle the nose makes with the upper lip. I then perform a detailed examination and write up a surgical plan that I then go over with the patient. I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video.

Answer: Rhinoplasty You have a slight dorsal cup and other issues with your nose. While filler may be able to camouflage the bump a bit, a formal rhinoplasty will provide a permanent change and overall reduce the size of your nose unlike what fillers can do.
