I have several qualms with my nose. Some cosmetic some potentially medical. Regardless they cause me esteem issues and I'd like to get it fixed. The tip of my nose is bulbous, it is slightly crooked and there seems to be uneven cartilidge. I often have trouble breathing out one nostril. One side looks normal. The other not so much. Could this be fixed?
Answer: Septorhinoplasty for the crooked nose, overprojected tip, etc. Septorhinoplasty for the crooked nose, overprojected tip, etc. will give you a more attractive and feminine nose as well as better airway. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who can show you natural results of his work. Don’t rely on imaging.

Answer: Rhinoplasty The thing I specifically notice is that your nasal septum sticks out of your left nostril. Very simple to correct in conjunction with a standard rhimoplasty and that will help obtain the symmetry you seek. Good luck,

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. This can also be designed to help improve your nasal asymmetry and help your breathing. 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: Crooked tip of the nose The nasal areas that you described and would like improved can be addressed with a nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) and a possible septoplasty which are typically done at the same time. A natural appearing nose can be achieved when the procedures are performed by an artistic plastic surgeon with extensive experience in nasal surgery. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on a limited two dimensional photo without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Tip rhinoplasty You have asymmetric tip cartilages which can be easily improved with a Tip Rhinoplasty. This can be performed under local or general anesthesia. 3D imaging will allow you to see how your tip could look after a rhinoplasty, so I would encourage you to see a trained plastic surgeon for a consultation.
