Female, 20 & ski slope nose is my ideal, is it possible to change the shape of a nose bridge? (Photo)

Question

Im a 20 year old female and want to get my nose done. Im just researching right now but plan to get one in the future. My ideal nose is the ski slope nose.

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

A rhinoplasty to reduce the dorsum and rotate the tip as well as reduce tip projection slightly should achieve this goal.

Damien Grinsell MBBS, FRACS (Plast) · Answer

Hi Plucky

Absolutely - reducing the dorsal hump is the number one reason most patients seek a cosmetic rhinoplasty. It is an unpredictable operation however most patients (90-95%) achieve the results they are seeking. The shape of the profile is one of the few things that the patient has choice in deciding ie straight vs a curve. You should seek a surgeon who you like the B and A photos showing a curve.

Based on this single photo, you seem to be good candidate for rhinoplasty. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and 3D simulation (if available), would be right way to proceed with surgery planing. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Jacob Tower, MD · Answer

Hello, hope you are well. Reducing the nasal dorsum is one of the most commonly requested and performed aspects of rhinoplasty surgery. Not only can you determine with your surgeon the shape of the bridge, you can also consider changes to the tip position and shape as well. I generally provide my patients with all of the 'design options' that are considered desirable and technically achievable for an individual's nose while keeping in mind how it fits into the rest of the face. Good luck!
Best,Dr. Tower

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

You are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. You have a dorsal hump but also your tip hangs down quite a bit. When you get your consult make sure the surgeon explains to you how that will be addressed

Selcuk Inanli, MD · Answer

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photo you provided your nose looks very long, a bit droopy and a bit overprojected compared to your face. With a rhinoplasty surgery you can achieve a pretty curve, more elegant and more defined nose.
Best regards!Prof. Dr. Selcuk Inanli

Unfortunately, one lateral or oblique photo does not provide enough information to offer an opinion in regard to rhinoplasty surgery.

Ufuk Duzenli, MD · Answer

You have a nice nasofrontal Angle and it is better your face to get a slightly sloping dorsum . Also the tip have to be rotated and projected.

Nice 1 posted side view photo of your nose, agree the old "bob job" rhinoplasty can be done if that is your desire. Fee $8,000. Best to virtual consult with.....
