I've been wanting to get my nose done since I was in high school, I feel like as I've gotten older it's gotten bigger. Whenever I tell people I wanna get my nose done they look at me weird and say I don't need one. I really wanna get surgery but I also don't want to ruin my nose.
Answer: Candidate Yes, it appears that you have a relatively decent baseline anatomy with no significant deformities that are visible in these photos (with respect to any previous trauma to the nose or serious deviation of normal ranges). The most important part is selecting an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. This surgeon needs to be board certified by a legitimate board such as American Board of Plastic Surgery. I would recommend reading reviews, seeing photos, meeting with numerous surgeons and then coming to a final decision with the one who you believe will do the best job at making your nose what you discussed.

Answer: Rhinoplasty The answer to the question "am I a good candidate for a rhinoplasty" is difficult to answer without ever meeting the patient. Based solely on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for a preservation style rhinoplasty. In my practice I use this technique to lower the bridge of a patient's nose to provide a more feminine profile. The preservation technique leaves the dorsum very natural and stylized. Many surgeons, including myself, perform this technique with an ultrasonic device called a Piezo. It is less traumatic and allows for less bruising, less swelling, and a quicker recovery. It never hurts to simply talk to a plastic surgeon to learn more about the rhinoplasty process. This could be virtual and then in-office once you are serious about scheduling the procedure. Be sure to seek out someone with experience in rhinoplasty. Best, Lucas M Boehm, MD

Answer: Finesse rhinoplasty. If you have severe dissatisfaction with the appearance of your nose, please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialist so you could see what to expect after surgery. If you do not have severe dissatisfaction with the appearance of your nose, sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone. In my opinion, you appear to have a pleasing nasal appearance. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: You seem to be a reasonable candidate to me. More... Your nose looks strong for a few reasons; the goal of the operation, as I see it, would be to make the nose appear less prominent. The tip of your nose could be brought back closer to your face. The tip could be elevated. The height of the bridge could be lowered. The height of the middle part of your face, between your eyes and mouth, is tall compared to the average. That means that your nose will look long-ish even if the tip is elevated. That's just your genes from your parents. So, seems to me, we would try to elevate the tip of the nose as much as you'd be comfortable with. How *much* to elevate the tip, or deproject the nose, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.) Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos your skin structure is thick, but this is not an obstacle for rhinoplasty, it is possible to get the nose you want with a single operation. The recovery period will take longer than normal and thin skin. It would be better face to face consultation. Best Regards!
