Is it possible to get this kind of look with my side profile? (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a Rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip elevation, tip refinement, among other maneuvers. I never recommend using celebrity photos as examples. It is much better to use Examples of your surgeons on work from their own website. I highly recommend that my patients focus much more on real longterm before and after photographs rather than 3D imaging.   I encounter so many patients in my practice who see me for revision rhinoplasty who previously had surgery elsewhere who feel like they were mislead into surgery by surgeons who relied heavily on 3D imaging without adequate real before and after pictures to back it up. Photoshop is easy but real surgery is very different.

I always recommend that you carefully evaluate your surgeon’s online before and after gallery on their website for both quality and quantity of results. Make sure that there are hundreds of real before and after pictures which demonstrate long-term follow up results. If your surgeon is posting mostly on table results without real long-term follow up results, that is usually a major red flag. If a surgeon is posting mostly just splint removal day videos without longterm follow-up pictures, that can also be a red flag. Long-term results are much more meaningful than on table results or 1 week post-op results. 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.

I'm not sure if she has had rhinoplasty or not, but her nasal cartilage is much stronger and more defined than yours. Your skin also appears to be thicker as well. While no surgeon can say that you will have the same nasal appearance after surgery, a well performed rhinoplasty can make a big improvement for you. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Hi, hope this message finds you well. As you may know it is impossible to to give you the exact nose as Kelly Rowland but by identifying the details of her nose that you appreciate we can see what this would look like on you by creating a computer imagine/morph of your nose. We would love to see you in the office for a consultation. Hope to meet you.

Hi It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process

The model that you posted has a very refined nasal profile appearance with a very low nasal bridge appearance. The feasibility of achieving this would require an examination. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who can offer computer Imaging and give you an idea of what to expect after surgery. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

There are multiple issues that one has to consider in order to predict result of rhinoplasty; this includes not only a cartilaginous and bone framework but also thickness, texture and elasticity of soft tissues on top. All of these components may be significantly different from person to person and affect the result of surgery which mostly depends on changing bone/cartilage framework. To get some idea about your projected result would be a use of 3D simulation; many plastic surgeons who perform nose surgeries would have such a tool in their office. Hope this helps.
