I want a nose job, am I suitable for this nose type? (Photos)

It is always helpful to have photos of noses you like to bring with you to consultations. They can help communicate with the surgeon what you are looking to achieve. However, what looks good on one patient might not look good on another, and it is crucial for surgeons to examine the overall aesthetic of each patient’s face to determine the most complementary structure of the new nose. The frontal view of your “wish” picture is, in my opinion, a very tiny, artificial looking nose that will look very dated in about 10 years. I would beware of “trendy” noses for this reason. Certainly, it appears from your own photos that your current nose can be made much more elegant and attractive so that it harmonizes with your other facial features. In regard to the time between consult and surgery, it varies depending on the surgeon, time of year and if the surgeon has his or her own accredited facility which thereby allows for opening extra surgical days. I suggest consulting in person with a number of board certified plastic surgeons to see if rhinoplasty surgery is right for you, based on the physical exam and consult. You can also research CareCredit or another financing services to help with costs.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photo.Your rhinoplasty result may look like the picture you want, but your skin type is not suitable for this nose.You have thick skin, you need to be patient about the healing process.It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

Hi @Ashlyn6142. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination.

Best of luck,

You do look like a great candidate for rhinoplasty, and pictures of this woman are helpful to convey what you are looking for, but a few thoughts. One, you will never have the exact nose of someone else. This individual has a very, very sculpted nose whether naturally or by surgery. Trying to achieve something exactly like this may leave you with an overly-reduced nose that is not in good proportion with your other features and may not breathe well. Instead, try to focus on the things that you want improved in your nose. See a plastic surgeon you like who is well-trained and experienced in rhinoplasty, and discuss your concerns with them to formulate a plan to create a nose that is aligned with your goals and is unique to you.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you may be a candidate for rhinoplasty and can benefit from refining your nasal bridge and tip projection. While there is nothing wrong with having a specific nose in mind, it is best to manage your expectations. You can take someone else’s nose to use as inspiration, but someone else’s nose might not be suitable for your face. You should have a nose that complements your features rather than have a “cookie-cutter nose” from a celebrity.

This is why it’s best to schedule an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Such experts will have the training and experience to perform the most advanced surgical techniques while having an eye for facial balance and harmony. During your consultation, your surgeon can assess your facial profile, recommend the best approach, use digital photography to show projected results, and ensure the best possible outcome.
