I've never wanted a plastic surgery more than a rhinoplasty in my entire life. I've always hated my nose. looking to correct: 1. too wide, especially near the tip 2.especially bulbous near the tip 3. may also be too upturned, giving me a pig-like effect (and large nostrils) 4. My bridge just below brows is mostly skin where others have bone. I would like a more gradual slope I was told my only option to build up my bridge is a rib graft, is this true? My dream nose is Kim K's current nose.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. You may also benefit from a nasal tip derotation to lower your tip. 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. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty for the short upturned nose. Rhinoplasty for the short upturned nose. Yes, this can be done with your septal cartilage for the bridge without a rub graft and a septal extension graft etc. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who can show you many photos of his results with noses like yours.
