I Want to know if I could get my nose to be lowered by the septum and to thin it out slightly while increasing the profile of my bridge. I also want a slightly sharper tip. I just want to know if what I am thinking for myself is feasible and get professional insight.
Answer: Asian rhinoplasty to increase nasal length as well as projection. The areas that you described and would like improved can be addressed with a subtle natural appearing rhinoplasty performed by an expert artistic plastic surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do and how to do it based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive ethnic rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla, California

Answer: What can rhinoplasty do for you? The concerns you have about your nose are very common, and it is very possible to add length to your septum to correct your columellar retraction and refine your tip. It is also possible to take away some of the feeling of alar hooding, or the sense that your nostril hang over the columella and make the central part of your tip feel blunted. You should come in for a consultation with rhinoplasty surgeons who have extensive experience with noses like yours to ensure a great result. All the best,Jason Litner, MD

Answer: What is possible with respect to altering your nose? The short answer is yes, definitely. Based on these photos it appears that your alar lobules are lower on your face than your columella and this would benefit from lengthening your septum as you've mentioned. Your tip can be moved farther out from your face and the bridge raised to balance things out. These are quite commonly requested changes and since you are a primary case you should bet a good candidate. It is possible that you will require cartilage harvested from your chest wall or ear(s) to provide what is needed to accomplish your goal.
