How can I fix my long nose? I feel like my nasal columnella extends too far into my philtrum area and the length of my entire nose is too long.
Answer: Conservative rhinoplasty Thank you for your inquiry! It seems that you are a good candidate for a conservative rhinoplasty addressing the over-projection of your nose as mentioned above. The surgery will improve the way your nose looks to complement your facial features in a natural fashion. However, without a physical examination it is not possible to provide you with specific details. I highly recommend that you schedule a consultation with a well-experienced surgeon. It is important to mention that the finest cosmetic results in any particular case are based on a variety of factors, including: the unique anatomy of the patient, realistic expectations, a well-informed and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon concerning the best options for you especially covering a deep understanding of the pros and cons of any given choice you will adopt. Please keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon online who offers to tell you what to do without a physical examination covering the nature and the status of the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative solution would not be in your best interest. With that in mind, it is the safest and for your best interest to find a plastic surgeon with solid experience and certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that you will trust and be comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Good luck!!! Ali Sajjadian, MD FACS

Answer: Long nose For better opinions you will need to (best) be in front of a surgeon or for remote advice supply a closer side and front view. Most of the is cartledge rearranging with limited removal. You are really desiring rotation upward to lift the tip. At present from the front, only the top of your nose is visible and looking at other appearance one can see the columella and base of the nose. good luck

Answer: How can I fix my long nose? The areas that you described and would like improved can be addressed with a subtle natural appearing rhinoplasty performed by an expert artistic plastic surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience. Keep in mind, that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of the proposed operative procedure with you may not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Your Fix is a Rhinoplasty A rhinoplasty can fix your long nose, but the changes can sometimes make the rest of the nose not have harmony with these changes. That is one of the reasons I like to perform computer generated imaging on all of my rhinoplasty clients. It allows me to make changes to YOUR nose on YOUR face, and allows both of us to make a customized plan that will give you the result you desire. The goal of a rhinoplasty is to create a nose that has harmony with the rest of the face, and visually speaking, "disappears", so the other beautiful features of your face can be appreciated.Andrew CampbellFacial Plastic Surgeon
