Interested in getting a rhinoplasty for more symmetrical nose – am I a good candidate? (Photos)

Question

I have an asymmetrical nose bridge and tip and I’m looking into rhinoplasty to correct the issue. I’m kinda happy with how my nose looks from the sides (albeit I prefer the side to which my nose deviates), I have a particular issue with how it looks at 45 degrees from the opposite side (i.e., not the side to which my nose deviates) and the front. I want to have a more symmetrical nose that looks harmonious (more in line with my good side), but I’m afraid that a rhino would give me two ”bad sides”

Based on your photos, you appear to have an indentation along the right side wall of your nose. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for permanently adding volume to this indentation achieving a straighter nasal appearance. I hope this is helpful and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

As far as I can see from your photos, you are suitable for the rhinoplasty. For get rid of this image I recommend you rhinoplasty surgery.
It would be better face to face consultation.

You would benefit from a rhinoplasty and you would also benefit from a chin implant.

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty, I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, rhinoplasty could be designed to straighten your nose and improve the symmetry. You will also benefit from dorsal hump reduction, tip elevation, and tip deprojection. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

There is no perfect nose, just improvements. Pre-existing facial asymmetry also can lead to a crooked nose to some degree, so it's important to have realistic expectations. Your nose can certainly be improved by straightening the nose from the frontal profile to make it more symmetrical, and shave down the dorsal hump from the side profile. It's important to try to get your nose straight so that both three-quarter angles look good from all your views
