As a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties a year, I see patients on a daily basis who like their noses from certain angles, but not from others. In your case, your profile is lovely, but the width of your nose is disharmonious with the rest of your face. The type of surgery you would need is a rhinoplasty that addresses the width while preserving the elegance of your profile. While it sounds like magic, I assure you that it’s possible if performed by someone with years of experience with rhinoplasty surgery! Knowing which elements to preserve is crucial to producing a beautiful rhinoplasty result. I recommend consulting in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns.
Based on the photo, you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. The wideness of the nose can be brought in by refining the tip and bringing in the bones some. The skin has some thickness so it will never be really thin, but it would be a nice improvement. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.
What bothers you most about your nose is the tip, which is rather bulbous and ill-defined. We could give the tip of your nose greater definition and refinement by trimming the lower lateral cartilages, and suturing the medial crura together, but because your nasal skin is thick, we would also place some cartilage grafts harvested from the nasal septum inside the nose and from the conchal cartilage of one of your ears in order achieve greater projection and definition of the nasal tip beneath the skin. However, once we have refined the nasal tip in this manner, the bridge of your nose will appear wider, so we would probably perform concomitant nasal osteotomies to narrow it, and create better proportions between the upper and lower portions of your nose.
What are your goals for the front view of your nose? A rhinoplasty can certainly reshape many aspects of your nose on front view, and can keep your profile and dorsum essentially untouched while refining the tip and alae to meet your goals.
A rhinoplasty to narrow your bridge and tip would be ideal. You do not need to change your bridge or tip projection.
Thank you for your question. I'm making the assumption you don't like the width of your nose from the front. Your nose could easily be narrowed and made to appear slightly more aquiline. If this is something you have in mind it is certainly a possibility. I would seek a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty and be specific with that surgeon about what you like and don't like about your nose. Good luck!
Thank you for your question. A rhinoplasty would likely be the best option to address your concerns. Rhinoplasty is considered among the most difficult of surgeries to perform due to the immense amount of attention to detail involved. When seeking consultation, make sure the surgeon is someone who performs rhinoplasty regularly, and take a look at their portfolio to get an idea of their style. I hope this is helpful, and all the best to you.-Dr. P
Based on your photos, you appear to have a wide nasal bridge and tip appearance. Depending on your examination, rhinoplasty may be considered for achieving a narrower nasal appearance. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph
Based on your photos, it does appear that a rhinoplasty would make a nice change to your overall appearance. While there are a variety of approaches and techniques employed by various surgeons, it is up to you to do your due diligence to find a rhinoplasty specialist in order to achieve the best results possible. If surgery is not an option for you, nonsurgical rhinoplasty can be used to reshape the nose by adding volume to the nose with dermal filler. Good luck! @drdonyoo
Your nose can be narrowed both on the tip and bridge. Also alar wedge excisions can be done to address the wide nostrils. Pretty standard stuff
Hi there! It's possible you could create some wrinkling in the skin and memory, though I doubt it would cause significant changes - especially in terms of drooping. With aging, the nose will tend to droop anyway and I would be hard-pressed to think what you're doing now would accelerate it. A...
Alar retraction is usually caused by removing too much internal lining if the nose. However a hanging columella can mimic alar retraction if not address properly. In fact a hanging columella one of the most common causes for revision yet is so simple to avoid.
Cartilage grafting is not unusual. However, it does add bulkiness to the tip. If you want a thinner tip, then you might consider a revision. We recommend consulting with a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. He/she will be able to give you advice regarding your specific situation.
