Considering rhinoplasty that will provide better symmetry? (Photos)

Question

I am in my mid 40s. I always considered a rhinoplasty but probably didn’t have enough courage. I am considering a rhinoplasty that provides better symmetry. My nose is slightly crooked (probably due to several elbows to face playing soccer) and the tip could be more pleasant. I find when I smile my nose becomes more pronounced.

Good evening
You do have thick skin therefore it’s not possible to reduce the size of your nose significantly. It will definitely be smaller and wings will be more narrow. We can correct your deviation at the same time. Thick skin takes longer to heal and it will not be as small as the nose thin skinned patients have. Best wishes

Hi @Claphopas. Thank you for sharing your photos. You are an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination.

Best of luck,

Hello. I do not recommend someone with such a small chin to have a nose surgery alone. Okay, your nose will be beautiful, but he will always question the general symmetry and harmony of his face and will be unhappy. Therefore, you should definitely have jaw surgery. Please take a look at the transformation photos on our social media account. I’m the only triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon all around Europe. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost every country in the world and explains my techniques to important doctors with the seminar invitations I receive, so I am definitely the only doctor who can perform your operation very comfortably and successfully. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

Considering rhinoplasty: based on traditional aesthetic norms, you have a dorsal hump and a quite wide nose. these are features that are typically addressed with a standard rhinoplasty. In your Sideview it appears that you may also have a weak chin, which if it bothers you, can be addressed either with a chin implant or with fillers. A chin implant can be performed along with a Rhinoplasty or as a separate procedure. Fillers could be done at any time independently.

Based on your photos, your nose is not terribly deviated. The biggest challenge is the thickness of the skin soft tissue envelope in your tip. Tip narrowing is more difficult to achieve with thicker skin in your tip. However, your nose can be more balanced with ca conservative reduction of the bridge of the nose as well as narrowing and straightening the bridge and slightly lifting the tip. This can all be done with closed approach. Perfect symmetry may not be achieved and realistic expectations are key.

Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique.

Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on very limited photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)  that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
