Possible to obtain chiseled nose through Rhinoplasty? (photo)

Question

I have an asian nose, and although everyone tells me it's really cute and I like it...I want to get rhinoplasty to get a more "chiseled" nose. Am I able to obtain the little lines at the bottom of these noses and still look natural? How is that done if possible? I've never had plastic surgery done before. Thank you so much in advance!

Thanks for your question.Yes it is possible to get that look. using advanced techniques and suturing of the lower lateral cartilages we can create that shape. It requires a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive training and experience in rhinoplasty, someone with a great reputation.Best wishes,Dr Sajjadian

I agree with those who tell you not to touch your nose. Your nose looks nice and you only risk messing it up with surgery.

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

The "little lines" that you see on Adriana Lima's nose are actually the edges of her tip cartilage (lower lateral cartilage) which are visible through the skin.  Although your tip can be reshaped, refined and made more narrow, it would be very difficult - if not impossible - to create those lines surgically due to the greater thickness of your skin.  That being said, it's certainly possible to get a more refined and "chiseled" nose with Asian rhinoplasty.  The key to a successful result is to find an Asian rhinoplasty specialist with the skills and expertise to deliver the aesthetics you find attractive.

A rhinoplasty will give you a much narrower nose. How narrow will be determined by your skin thickness see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

While it is possible to refine and narrow the nasal tip, a chiseled nose can potentially end up looking surgical and unnatural. Thick skin will also be an impediment to see a very refined and chiseled  look. For many examples, please see  the link below to our rhinoplasty  photo gallery
