Since childhood my nose would bleed regularly (usually once or twice every month). I went to the ENT and he said that there are a lot of blood vessels inside my nose. Can I get a nose job? And side question my nose is already massive but I still have problems breathing can doctors make it smaller and improve breathing?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Nasal bleeds are not a contraindication for rhinoplasty. You would need a complete intranasal examination prior to surgery to be safe. Your nose can be made smaller and at the same time have your breathing improved if the right techniques are employed. 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
