Could a nose job keep the uniqueness in my nasal tip while shortening the actual nose?

Hello, and thank you for your question. It is difficult to make a recommendation without any photos. However, it is still best anyway, to have a personal evaluation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can do a proper assessment of your nose. To answer your question, rhinoplasty can be customized to exclusively address a particular aesthetic issue you may have with your nose –so you don’t need to worry about changing your other nasal features. That said, it requires advanced skill and technique to perform the complex procedure.

I recommend scheduling a consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Such experts will have the skill and training to perform the most advanced surgical techniques, as well as an aesthetic eye for facial harmony and balance, helping you achieve the most natural-looking results. 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.

Hard to know without photos. If you go on consults the surgeon will tell you which changes would be worthwhile and possible in your particular case.

A full set of facial photographs from all angles are required to make a determination about how best to proceed, Since the nose is a three dimensional structure, and is one the most difficult procedures to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery. Digital computer imaging would also be helpful in the education process to see what can and cannot be accomplished with your nose

Could a rhinoplasty change some aspects of the nose while leaving others intact? There are several aspects of a rhinoplasty such as the nasal bridge ,the nasal root, the length of the nose , the projection of the nose, the shape of the tip , the width of the nostril base , the shape of the dorsal profile ,etc. Not all of these need to be changed during a rhinoplasty. If a patient likes some features of her nose and wishes to change others , that can certainly be done.
