I have a bump on my bridge , a bulbous tip and wide nasal ala. Also I have a slight deviated septum.
Answer: What can I do to make nose more feminine and aesthetic for rhinoplasty? The nasal areas that you described and would like improved can be addressed with an artistically performed natural appearing nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) and septoplasty through either a closed or open surgical approach Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do based on limited photos without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi @laurenn_elaine! Thank you for sending your photos. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination. In my practice, I utilize piezosurgery. Piezosurgery is a more gentle technique that allows for greater precision. Less bruising and swelling is common with Piezosurgery. In a typical rhinoplasty, a hammer and chisel technique is performed leading to more inadvertent fractures. Best of Luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Improving nasal appearance with a Rhinoplasty! Thank you for your question! Rhinoplasty or "nose job" procedures can help shape, define, and modify the nose's appearance. Per your images and descriptions, your concerns could definitely be improved with this procedure. Slimming and defining the bridge/tip/and alar flares can assist in creating overall facial harmony or to achieve a more "feminine" appearance. There are multiple areas of the nose both internal and external that all work in conjunction for the overall appearance. It is important to find a provider who is qualified and knowledgeable in these procedures to ensure best results. Your physician should do a full facial evaluation, understand your goals, and provide the best treatment plan to get to your desired results.

Answer: In person consultation I would recommend starting with a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty surgery to discuss if rhinoplasty can address your concerns. I would recommend writing down the following questions before scheduling your consultation: 1. Are you unhappy with the tip of your nose? 2. Do you feel that your nose is too wide? 3. Do you want to make your nostrils smaller in appearance? 4. Are you looking to decrease the general size of your nose? I hope some of these questions will help you pinpoint what it is that you don't like about your nose. Cost will vary due to various factors like anesthesia fees, facilities fees, etc. I wish you the best as you research your options when scheduling a rhinoplasty consultation. Sincerely, Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS Double Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Feminine and aesthetic for rhinoplasty To feminize your nose, we would perform an open septorhinoplasty. This will allow us to relieve your nasal obstruction by excising the deviated septum. We would take down the hump of your dorsum and then narrow your nasal tip by excising excess lower lateral cartilage, and then further increase the definition of your nasal tip by suturing the remaining crural cartilages together, and then overlaying this with cartilage grafts harvested from the septal cartilage and the conchal cartilage of the ear. The width of the base of the nose will be reduced by performing weir excisions of the alae.

Answer: Thinking about rhinoplasty? Here's what you need to know Hello, and thank you for your question. All the concerns you mentioned –nasal bump, bulbous tip, wide nasal ala, and a deviated septum –can be addressed with a well-performed rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is a very complex procedure, however. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. A rhinoplasty expert will have a deep understanding of facial anatomy, especially when it comes to the functional and aesthetic components of the nose. Your surgeon will assess your profile, recommend the best surgical approach, use digital photography to show projected results, and ensure the best possible outcome.
