If the shape of your nose bothers you enough that you’re willing to have surgery then you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. No one has to have cosmetic surgery, so the decision is entirely up to the individual, and this varies greatly from person to person. Making comments on someone’s facial appearance is highly inappropriate, and I would question your relationship with people who make such remarks. Sometimes fillers can be used to enhance the appearance of the nose with substantial improvement it done by skilled providers. Generally speaking, standard approach is rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty surgery is not one operation, but rather a very general term for many different operations used to correct each different aspect of the nose. The nose is usually divided into subunits, and each subunit has a variety of procedures that can be applied to get the desired outcome. Rhinoplasty surgery it’s really complex and patient should be highly selective when choosing providers choosing plastic surgeon who have extensive experience for those who focus their careers exclusively on this type of surgery if possible. With rhinoplasty surgery, revision rates are slightly higher than other procedures, and secondary surgeries are considered far more complex and difficult than primary rhinoplasty’s. If you decide to move forward and have surgery and provider selection is probably the most important variable. To help find the best provider I suggest patient consider scheduling multiple in person, consultations with plastic surgeons, who seem to have a strong track record for rhinoplasty surgery. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of the previous patient who had similar Nasal characteristics to your own. An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Being shown a handful of pre-selected images, representing the best result of the providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider. When, in doubt, slow down and schedule more consultations. No one has to have cosmetic surgery. Best, Mats hagstrom MD
