I injured my nose when I was 14, and ever since had a bigger bump than usual. I also cannot breathe properly out of my right nostril, a local ENT suggested I have a septoplasty performed- but I'm concerned with the shape as well. What would you recommend? I know I would want the bump removed, but unsure on what else.

Answer: Nasal reshaping... It's very important to do both the rhinoplasty and septoplasty together if you are considering them. Cartilage from the septoplasty is used to strengthen the nasal tip, and the bump can be taken down nicely. Only minimal refining of the tip is necessary. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I agree with your assessment and 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.
