What can I do to change the appearance of my fat nose? Do you think I need surgery?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. 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. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Wide Nose Any wide nose can be narrowed by adjusting the thin nose bones and cartilages. Your nose is slightly more challenging than an average nose because of minimally thicker than average skin, a condition called cephalic orientation of the lower lateral cartilages, notching and asymmetry of your nostrils (your right nostril is wider) and slight deviation of your tip to the left. You may wish to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who has enough expertise to notice these and deliver a pleasing outcome.

Answer: I hate my nose, it's so fat and it makes me so insecure. I would be happier if it were smaller A full set of facial photographs are required including the nose to make a determination about what can be accomplished with a rhinoplasty procedure. From the one very limited photograph, it appears that there's a wide nasal tip and a wide nasal bridge which can be narrowed. Rhinoplasty is a very difficult endeavor, so choose your surgeon very wisely based on extensive experience with the procedure producing natural results.

Answer: Rhinoplasty procedure Hi, If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose then you are a candidate for rhinoplasty procedure. According to your photo you seem to have a bulbous tip. You can benefit from a tip rhinoplasty which will reshape your nose at the focal point. It is best to get your photos computer imaged so you can have a realistic picture of what your nose could look like after surgery. Feel free to email me your pictures. Best,Dr. S
