I have a bulbous tip (more exaggerated on my left side) which gives my nose no definition face on and reflects light in an unpleasant manner leaving me with a shiny round look and throwing off my facial features. Is there any procedures that are not too invasive (not open rhinoplasty for example) where they can just remove excess skin/cartillage in this area to give the nose a refined thinner natural nose? Can anyone recommend a surgeon in the UK/London that has experience with this issue?

Answer: Closed Scarless Nose Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your picture and question!Based on the pictures you have submitted It does appear that you would be a great candidate for a Closed Scarless Rhinoplasty.A closed rhinoplasty procedure is the best option for someone who is looking for a refinement of the nose. Based on your photographs it appears you have a bulbous tip and drooping tip with thick nasal skin. I recommend going to a Plastic Surgeon that specializes in closed scarless rhinoplasty (preferred by actresses and celebrities) because there is no risk of external scarring and much less healing and recovery time. Closed rhinoplasty enables you to have flash recovery with very minimal bruising if at all. You will only have to wear a cast for 5-7 days, no one will know you had anything done. All the incisions are made from inside the nose. The goal is to finesse and enhance the nose without drastic change. It still looks like it is your nose just more refined without looking fake. Meaningful refinement is the key! All the same surgical maneuvers your nose requires can be performed with a skilled closed scarless surgeon. Best of luck, Deepak Dugar MD Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Center

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you have a bulbous tip and drooping tip with thick nasal skin. You may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty, soft tissue debulking of your nasal tip, and, cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly. 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. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
