If a patient is happy with their current nose but wants a subtle change, is the risk of a bad result worth it? (photos)

Question

I’m looking for the attached change. Does this procedure require a rib graft and can it be done with fillers? Is it too subtle to recommend undergoing surgery if the patient is ok with the way it looks now - is the risk of a worse outcome too high?

Celal Alioglu, MD · Answer

Hello I don't recommend to do filler on your nose because it effects badly structure of the nose that is why I am recommending to do surgery

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

If you have your surgery done by a qualified rhinoplasty expert, there should be no problem. We see patients for subtle changes all the time. Your nasal tip can be strengthened and better projected to give the result you show, while keeping things looking natural.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

There's no reason to undergo a Rhinoplasty procedure if you only want a subtle change. From the photographs presented, it appears that you just need A dorsal Hump reduction and a release of the depressor septi ligament which dynamically pulls the tip downwards when smiling.
