Gary Linkov, MD · Answer

Rhinoplasty requires exceptional skill on behalf of the surgeon and great communication with the patient about realistic goals and expectations. Common cosmetic concerns include a dorsal hump, wide nose, sunken nose, irregularities, and asymmetries. Functional concerns include difficulty breathing through the nose, which can and should be addressed at the same time as your rhinoplasty.

In your situation, you would need a medical evaluation by your medical provider prior to surgery.

Find someone you connect with, who will listen to your concerns and provide you with a framework for what is possible.
