Unhappy with my side profile when I smile - am I a candidate for a Revision Rhinoplasty? (photos)

Hi @calamity13. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination.

Best of luck,

Thank you for your question and photos. To make an accurate recommendation, it would be helpful to know what exactly you don’t like about your side profile. That said, you do have options if you’re unhappy with your nose. Revision rhinoplasty is likely your best option for reshaping your nasal bridge or tip, but the procedure requires extreme precision and skill. If you’re interested in revision rhinoplasty, I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has plenty of experience performing this procedure.

Revision rhinoplasty will certainly be able to reshape and create more definition to your nose. The decision to undergo rhinoplasty is a strictly personal one, as only you can weigh the pros and cons of the recovery and financial aspects relative to how much the nasal appearance bothers you. A rhinoplasty specialist will be able to comprehensively address the issues you have with your nose. While there are a variety of approaches and techniques employed by various surgeons, it is up to you to do your due diligence to find a rhinoplasty specialist in order to achieve the best results possible. Looking at computer-morphed images with your surgeon during consultation will give you a good idea of what is possible, and also give you a great chance to convey to your surgeon what you envision. @drdonyoo

Thank you for your question. More information about exactly what you'd like to change would be helpful. That way your surgeon can discuss whether the changes you want are feasible, and also whether they are worth a revision surgery.
