Do I need rhinoplasty or just fix redness with lasers?

Question

Can't tell if my nose is too big and bulbous or crooked or if I need nose job. With make up (no contour) doesn't look as bad. I don't want upturned nose just corrected to balance face.. maybe I just have deviated septum?

Hello! Thank you for your question
As far as I can understand from your question
If you can send 2 photos in good light from the front and side profile, we can make an accurate assessment.
Best Regards!

If you have nasal redness, it's always a good idea to have that improved upon before considering rhinoplasty surgery. If somebody has rosacea and facial redness, rhinoplasty may lead to worsening of nasal redness. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination.

Hello and thank you for your question. Attaching pictures would be very helpful. Generally speaking, only rhinoplasty can change the shape and appearance of your nose with what you are describing. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Much more information is needed to be able to answer your question, therefore, please post a full set of facial photographs from all angles to make a determination about how best to proceed. Digital computer imaging would also be helpful to understand what can and cannot be accomplished with a rhinoplasty procedure upon your facial features.

Without pictures, we can’t begin to make an assessment.
I suggest you consider reposting with a set of facial pictures. Also a description of what you’re hoping to achieve.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD.
