What type of nose do I have and what rhinoplasty type is recommended? (Photo)

Question

Donald Groves, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question and the picture. From what I can see, your nasal tip looks a little asymmetric and bulbous (poorly defined). Addressing the shape of your nose (especially the nasal tip) is actually one of the most common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty. An open septorhinoplasty can best address both your aesthetic concerns and any functional issues with your nose. I would be able to adjust the size, shape, and definition of your nose (particularly the tip)!

This truly is a surgery of millimeters- and whether you're looking for a minor adjustment or a major transformation, it requires exceptional surgical skill to achieve functional and natural-looking results! Because your nose is the DEFINING feature of your face- I would only recommend seeing a surgeon who specializes in male rhinoplasty procedures, and who has significant training and experience performing these surgeries. I actually trained under one of the world leading male rhinoplasty experts (who performs 1,000+ nosejobs annually).

I recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with male rhinoplasties) to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate your options, and develop a personalized plan just for you. I hope this helps!

Hi rhinoplasty can enhance both function and appearance of the nose. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery 
process.

It appears that you are good candidate for full rhinoplasty including septoplasty.  It would be in your best interest to make in person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty. Good luck.
