I'm getting one of the 2 done this year. Rhinoplasty or 2 veneers. My question is. Which one looks more serious? (Photo)

The choice is yours as which bothers you the most. I think the rhinoplasty will give you the most change but of course I am a rhinoplasty surgeon.  Select a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who produces natural noses for the best result. 

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.Through rhinoplasty we make small changes, but that is quite noticeable. 
After having analyzed all the info. and photos provided to us, i recommend you perform a Full Rhinoplasty, includding narrowing of the nasal base, with nasal bones treatment, and alar and triangular nasal cartilages shaping.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

This is a good time for computer imaging. Go to an experienced surgeon who is also experienced with computer imaging so that you get a realistic imaged result Seeing seeing the changes on your face will really help you decide.

From the limited photographs presented, it appears that the rhinoplasty would give more of a visible change than the veneers would. Best to perform the procedure that bothers you the most. A rhinoplasty procedure involves shaving down the dorsal hump, refining the nasal tip, and adjusting the bridge line as necessary. Digital computer imaging would also be helpful to understand what can be accomplished with your new  nose upon your facial features.

Hi alice. Nasal surgery can have a dramatic appearance on a person's face. When done correctly, the nose looks more elegant, natural & blends with the face. The eyes are accentuated. I would recommend doing whichever bothers you more. The exact order of surgery doesn't matter. Good luck. Best, Dr H 

Hi and thanks for your question.  The truth is it really depends on what is most important to you.  However, looking at your teeth I would recommend that you see an orthodontist as you may benefit from some correction there.  This would change the appearance of your lower face.  It could likely be started, you could get your rhinoplasty and your teeth completed.  Hope this helps!

Dear aliceinwonderland, It is really a personal choice of which bothers you most. However, from my perspective as a surgeon and if you were a family member contemplating the two procedures I would definitely steer you in the way of having the rhinoplasty first. Rhinoplasty is one of the most rewarding procedures performed on young ladies like yourself and often life changing. Refining your nose will accentuate all of your other features and will help balance your profile and overall facial aesthetics. See some examples in the link below and the video above to see how rewarding rhinoplasty surgery can be. Your teeth are not that bad and I would hold off for a later date on veneers. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

From the single photo of your nose it appears that you could expect a very nice refinement and improvement in your aesthetics if you undergo rhinoplasty.  I believe that this would provide you significantly greater benefit if the costs are similar.  Only you can decide which is your preference.Best wishes and enjoy your results.Jon A Perlman M.D., FACSDiplomate, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)ABC-TV Extreme Makeover SurgeonBeverly Hills, CaliforniaIG: jonperlmanmd

A good way of deciding is to have computerized morphing with both outcomes.  That way you can see which is most important.  Also, if you have associated nasal obstruction, then that should be taken care of before the teeth.  Best wishes.
