Can nose jobs cause greater asymmetry, and is it possible to keep basically the same nose shape and just get a smaller and more feminine nose? How do you tell the difference between bone, cartilage, and fat in the nose?
Answer: Rhinoplasty goals Rhinoplasty is effective for improving nasal symmetry when performed by an experienced surgeon. It is certainly possible to make the nose smaller but I recommend consulting with your rhinoplasty surgeon to review photographs and discuss the particular changes desired to optimize the appearance of your nose.

Answer: Nose job? The nose can be refined and made smaller with an improvement in symmetry in most cases. I perform these through a closed rhinoplasty approach without a visible scar to produce a natural result.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: nose job surgery Rhinoplasty is the single hardest operation to perform in the field of cosmetic surgery. It is best to look for a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to keep the nose symmetrical and in balance with the nasal components and with the facial features. Experienced surgeons understand the anatomy between the skin, bone and cartilage in the nose. There is no fat in the nose. The upper one third of the nose is bony along the bridge line and the remainder is composed of mid vault upper lateral cartilages, and lower lateral cartilages that form the tip. It is possible to basically keep the same shape of nose just smaller and more feminine. This is part of the communication process between the patient and the surgeon.

Answer: Feminine Nose after Rhinoplasty Whether you can just keep your same nose shape and just make it smaller depends on a lot of tissue factors. You would have to submit pictures of your nose from different angles to help get a more informed answer to your nose reshaping question. Generally a more refined and feminine nose requires more changes than just being 'smaller'.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to improve shape of the nose A Rhinoplasty procedure is a cosmetic operation where the main goal is to improve the appearance, shape and symmetry of the external nose. This procedure deals with external anatomy of the nose which includes the soft tissue envelop (skin), the nasal bones and small pieces of cartilage in the tip. By carefully sculpting these structures, your surgeon can reduce the size of the nose, create better symmetry and make the tip more defined. In some types of noses the contour and shape is improved by adding tissue. The thickness of one's skin, which cannot be altered surgically, will ultimately determine how well defined the surgeon is able to contour the nasal tip. A Rhinoplasty procedure can be done through a closed approach where all the incisions are inside the nasal cavity, or an open approach where there is a tiny external incision.
