I have a round face w/ wide spread out nose. I'm thinking about Rhinoplaty. The result I'm looking for- is it possible? (photo)

Thank you very much for the questions.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, After having analyzed all the info. and photos provided to us, i recommend you perform an Open Full Rhinoplasty, includding narrowing of the nasal base and nostrils, with nasal bones treatment (controled fracture) and alar + triangular nasal cartilages re-shaping.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol C.-

Your expectations are realistic and you definitely can have it on a single rhinoplasty surgery. Revisions for rhinoplasty or for any other surgery might always be possible.Ask your surgeon the ratio of revisions and you will see that statistically it is not more than %1-2

Hi Mafille, The things that you don't like  about your nose can be taken care of with a rhinoplasty. This will typically involve elevating the bridge narrowing and refining the tip narrowing the nostrils this will all be done during one surgery.  The details of the surgery will be more thoroughly discussed at your consultation.  Your expectations do not seem unrealistic. Thanks for the question. 

 A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish narrowing a wide nose. To narrow a wide bridge line requires osteotomies placed in the nasal bones. To narrow wide nostrils requires an alar-plasty. Some patients also require a cartilage graft inserted across the bridge of the nose to give additional height. Thick skin will be a significant impediment to seeing a very refined result, especially in the tip of the nose. For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below

HiThanks for your question.  I think what you are saying all sounds reasonable.  Rhinoplasty is all about expectations.  If your expectations are reasonable, then you are likely to be happy with the result.  If you came in with a picture of Michael Jacksons nose and said you wanted that....then your expectations would not be very reasonable.  Make sure your surgeon has some experience with African American Rhinoplasty.  Even thought the principles are the same, the techniques are a little different.  Most people want to maintain some of their ethnicity but just want to soften some of the features that they don't like.Good Luck
