(left) my real nose and (right) photoshopped "ideal" nose What surgeries would I need and is it possible to get a similar "ideal" nose without using implants/grafts as I don't feel comfortable putting something in my nose that doesn't belong there? The only thing I changed from the before picture is my bridge and alars. I'm thinking nose rasping and alar reduction, but would this be enough? If I get these procedures done, will it make my nose look flat from the front? Thanks!
Answer: Rhinoplasty Your bridge can be shaved down a bit and your nostrils reduced using what we call alar wedge resections. Usually, in a case like yours you would need the bones broken to narrow the nose as well. Concentrate on finding an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. I think your expectation is quite achievable.

Answer: It is possible to achieve your "ideal" nose Marimeeks,The nose you desire is a very realistic and natural looking nose. A rhinoplasty in which the nasal bridge is refined and the tip is made smaller to fit your face would most likely provide you with what you are seeking. However, these suggestions are only based on the image you provided. A more accurate outline of surgical procedures could be given to you during an in person consultation. Best of luck,Dr. Ali Sajjadian

Answer: What surgeries will I need to achieve my "ideal" nose if possible? The hump can be reduced and the tip can be deprojected without making your nose wider from the front. Find a rhinoplasty surgeon who creates natural noses and who has excellent reviews.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: What surgeries will I need to achieve my "ideal" nose if possible? From your photos and brief history, your concerns about the anatomy of your nose can be cosmetically improved with a rhinoplasty through either a closed or open approach. Keep in mind, that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do based on seeing limited 2 dimensional photos and without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of the proposed operative procedure may not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and 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, MD FACS La Jolla, California
