I'm very self conscious of my nostril and tip area and want to know if I'm a good candidate for a rhinoplasty? I'm worried my case complex due to hanging columella or retraced alar? Does this require grafts?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. The alar retraction can also be treated with extended alar contour grafts. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Rhinoplasty techniques may be employed to repair a hanging columella. You also appear to have a wide nasal appearance on front view. Goals of rhinoplasty surgery are to make somebody's nose less distracting, and to allow it to blend in. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what to expect after surgery. I hope this helps, and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty with possible septoplasty and graft The width of your nose is too great over the bridge. Also, the nasal columella angle is about 90 degrees and needs to be 110 degrees. You would benefit from a rhinoplasty with possible septoplasty with graft.

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. In your case, you do have a hanging columella and arched alar rims. I see this combination very commonly and remove the caudal septum and perform alar rim grafts. 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
