  7. WILL THE LOOK OF MY EYES...

Will the look of my eyes be affected if I have a rhinoplasty in which the tip of my nose is straightened out?

March 27, 2015
Asked By:europeangirl08 in Montreal, QC

I am a 25 year old female interested in rhinoplasty to correct my upturned and bulbous nose tip. When i pull down on my nose tip to see what it could look like if I got it straightened out, it pulls down on the skin of the inner corner of my eyes, thus given a mishapen look to my eyes. So if I do get rhinoplasty where I assume the surgeon will be pulling down the tip of my nose, will it also pull down the skin around my inner eyes and leave me looking funny? Thanks

Taping the nose will not lift the tip  permanently. A rhinoplasty with sculpting of the nasal cartilages is required to lift the tip on a  permanent basis. For many examples, please see the video below
