Hi! I have been researching and considering rhinoplasty for my nose. It is slightly crooked and off center in my face. I would like a narrowed bridge, defined tip, and more of a slope in the bridge as well. Would you consider me a good candidate and would this be a straightforward procedure?
Answer: Rhinoplasty: things you should know Thank you for submitting your question and photos. You appear to be a candidate for rhinoplasty to achieve your desired results. During this procedure, the bridge can be narrowed, the slope could be contoured, and the nasal tip could be redefined for a harmonious appearance that complements the rest of your facial features. Straightening your nose’s alignment may involve osteotomies, graphs, or struts, depending on your unique case. When considering rhinoplasty, it’s important to note that it is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to discuss your concerns and goals with you and potentially provide imaging morphing to help you determine the results you may expect from surgery.

Answer: Are you a good candidate for a Rhinoplasty? Would it be a straightforward procedure? Are you a good candidate for a Rhinoplasty? Would it be a straightforward procedure? there are several good things about your face and nose. Your facial features are very pretty and your nose, from the views you present, is really not bad. It appears to over project slightly, and as you mention the tip could use some more definition, and the bridge could be a little narrower. The nose appears to tilt slightly to the right. Whenever the nose is crooked there is additional work that must be done, usually upon the septum to correct this. From that point of you it is not entirely “straightforward“. The problem with noses that are not that bad to begin with is that there is a narrow range of change that would lead to a really good result. Too much change risks making something that wasn’t that bad to begin with worse. Not enough change could make the procedure not really worthwhile. So to have just the right amount of change with a so-called “finesse rhinoplasty“ would require a great deal of experience, expertise and aesthetic judgment. In a way large hook noses that look terrible have a wider tolerance range for improvement. Even an imperfect result is almost certain to be better than what the patient had to start with. So ironically what often looks like it would be the easiest case , Requires the most skill and aesthetic judgment because of the narrow tolerance range.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty, I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos you have bulbous tip and slightly thick skin so you need to be patient about your healing process. Your nose can be reshape according to your wishes with an open rhinoplasty. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!
