What do I need to have done to be photogenic? (photos)

You would be an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. While there are a variety of approaches and techniques employed by various surgeons, it is up to you to do your due diligence to find a rhinoplasty specialist in order to achieve the best results possible. Using autologous grafts (tissue and cartilage from your own body) will provide the safest and most permanent results. Looking at computer-morphed images with your surgeon during consultation will give you a good idea of what is possible, and also give you a great chance to convey to your surgeon what you envision.

 A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish narrowing the tip, narrowing the bridge, refining  the bridgeline with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. The side photograph demonstrates a significant weak and recessive chin profile for which a chin implant can improve. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of shapes and sizes which are best determined at the time of the consultation and examination. Chin implants are composed of Silastic, and are usually placed through a small incision underneath the chin. The implants can be placed under local anesthesia  as a stand-alone procedure, or an under general anesthesia with the rhinoplasty procedure.

Rhinoplasty to address the size and shape of your nose should help you address your concerns. You have to understand that there is no such thing as the “perfect” nose. As rhinoplasty surgeons, we are able to improve the structure and function of the nose to address specific issues you have with how your nose looks and and how well you can breathe. Perfect symmetry does not exist in nature. Attempts to improve the symmetry of your nose should be aimed at achieving an improvement in your asymmetry to the point where it is no longer very noticeable. If you look carefully enough, you will always be able to find imperfections. The goal is a normal looking nose that is in harmony with the rest of your anatomy.
