Rhinoplasty - is it possible to achieve a natural look without doing my whole nose? (Photo)

Question

I want to get a rhinoplasty to get a smaller nasal. But with my nose looking natural as possible. Is it possible to achieve a natural look without doing my whole nose??

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Tip plasty is indeed possible for achieving a narrowed appearance to the lower 1/3 of somebody's nose. Based on your singular photo, you may have a crooked nasal appearance, and that may be slightly more involved than just tipplasty and alarplasty. You may consider visiting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what to expect after rhinoplasty surgery. I hope this is helpful! Since the only Dr Joseph

Hi from Istanbul! I perform hundreds of ethnic rhinoplasties each year and it is definitely possible to achieve a natural looking nose that works well with the rest of your features. A smaller and more refined nasal tip can be achieved with tip plasty and alarplasty. However, I also recommend narrowing the nasal bones with an osteotomy to ensure a more balanced and natural-looking result. Of course, for a more detailed analysis, you should consult in person with a plastic surgeon whose aesthetic vision aligns with yours. Best of luck to you.

The goal of any good rhinoplasty surgeon is to give you a natural result. Based on your photos, you should be able to get a smaller nose with rhinoplasty. It is important to find a rhinoplasty specialist with photos that you like. Then go in for a consultation where computer imaging can be done at the same time to see how you might like it.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Your nose appears to be asymmetrical and extends up over the dorsum.  Your tip needs to be refined.  You would benefit from a rhinoplasty.

Best Wishes,
