Hello doctors! I want to get a slight nose job. I like my profile, so no bone work but the entire front I want a little smaller & basically the same size. I heard they take off by mm. So if I want my nose smaller by say 2mm. How do surgeons measure it? Also I have a round point tip, if I "shrink it" is it possible without a pinch look, sharp look, still button/round?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Blends Art and Science Rhinoplasty really is a marriage of art and science, so my answer may not be as straightforward as you'd like. Patients don't often have their surgeries planned down to the millimeter. However, surgeons generally use calipers to help them measure during surgery. During the consultation process, I communicate with each patient to help ensure we're both working toward the same goal. I find that this matters much more than specific measurements. It is also possible to reduce the size of your tip without altering its shape a great deal. It's important to see a board-certified plastic surgeon who is extensively experienced in rhinoplasty, since it's a challenging procedure.
