Hello! After participating in sports all my life and then joining the military, my nose is no stranger to some sort of impact. I've never broken it though. Would I be able to achieve a nose like how I've edited it to look (I only decreased the hump, shortened the nostrils, and upturned the tip) with a closed surgery, or is open the only way? I also think I'd need to fix my deviated septum so that I can breathe better! Factoring all of that in, how much do you think it'd cost in New York?

Answer: Do I need open or closed rhinoplasty? The morphing that you have done is definitely feasible through a closed rhinoplasty. I use the open thechnique when significant tip work is required, for example if the tip is asymmetric, boxy or bulbous. It is hard to assess your nasal tip on the photographs and give you a definitive answer. The fees for the procedure varies and can be between 8 to 10k. The sepltoplasty can be done through the closed apprauch as well. I like the open rhinoplasty which is extremely useful, but it is not necessary when the tip shape is adequate. Even though the columella scar is alway acceptable, in very few patients it could be visible on close inspection. Therefore when it is not necessary to open the nose, I prefer the closed technique.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly and a conservative dorsal hump reduction. The deviated septum could be fixed at the same time. This could be done with either a closed or open approach. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. 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. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
