Will a rhinoplasty fix my profile?

Question

I’m having a rhinoplasty this year, but I’m worried I still won’t be happy with my profile. Would a nose job make it better or do I have another problem that may be contributing?

Ashley B. Robey, MD · Answer

If your nose has a dorsal hump, addressing this with a rhinoplasty can have a dramatic effect with regards to your facial profile. Your chin does not appear to be overtly deficient and your jaw line looks good. Your mental crease is a bit deep - if you didn't like that, you could add volume here. My advice would be to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon so that you can have a formal examination and discuss your goals. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, the photo you provided does not include the nose, so it is difficult to say whether rhinoplasty is a good choice for you. I can tell you that rhinoplasty is a complex plastic surgery procedure that requires a tremendous amount of precision, expertise, and artistry to create the best possible result. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure an optimal outcome.

Dear  Pioneering155073,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, your photo is not showing the problem. Few better photos illustrating the problem will be more helpful in order to help me to give you an opinion.

A full set of facial photographs from all angles are going to be required to make a determination about being a candidate for a rhinoplasty procedure.    When there is a recessive chin profile present, consider placement of a chin implant.
