Hi Akosijhay06,Realistic expectations are very important with any facial aesthetic procedure, especially with rhinoplasty. You can have augmentation rhinoplasty, but your best bet to be "able to have a nose that looks like an arab" will be wearing a burka. Good luck and be well.Dr. P
If you want a stronger nose with a higher dorsum and tip this can be done. The alar base can be modified as well.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.

I'm not sure what an Arab nose looks like. I've done rhinoplasty surgery for over 35 years and have always individualized every procedure, including many Arabs. Please be specific describing what changes you want so I can make appropriate recommendations.
An Arab or Middle eastern nose characteritically has a higher, more defined nasal dorsum than what you have with a varying degree of a dorsal hump. There are specific characteristics of the shape, position and size of the nostrils and alae. In order to attempt giving you such a nose you have to undergo an augmentation rhinoplasty. In my practice, I would opt for using some of your rib cartilage as a graft. This would allow us to give you more dorsal volume and the desired shape, tip support and definition. Modifying your nasal ala is much more difficult and not always successful. Hope this helps.

Treating pain can be unpredictable. It may be that scar tissue or changes in the nerves following your rhinoplasty are contributing to pain. Sensitivity to cold can also be an issue. However, it is often very difficult to develop a predictable treatment plan in the absence of identifying the...
