Hello, I have never had work done before on my nose. I have been insecure about the bottom part of my nose and upper lip area since I can remember, especially with my side profile. Can surgery be done to reduce the nostril show to make it more 90 degree shaped? Also can this surgery be done with local anesthesia? Thank you

Answer: Rhinoplasty I recommend an open rhinoplasty to change the position of the columella. Your medial crura needs to be elevated higher and the columella needs to be shortened.

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. In your case, you do have a significant hanging columella and retracted alar rims. 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. You should be able to have an excellent result. Best wishes to you.
