Does Getting a Nose Job, Drastically Change Your Face?

There are a number of reasons why people look better after rhinoplasty. Of course a smaller nose fits better but it also distracts less and others see the rest of your face. A professor of mine used to say "the sign of a good nosejob is in the eyes."

There are also often changes in people's self reliance after getting nasal surgery. This boost in self confidence often out-strips the surgical changes.

A rhinoplasty specialist can discuss and often demonstrate changes on a computer imager to view potential changes.

The nose is the most central and prominent feature on the face; however it should not be the first feature that attracts an onlooker's attention. Ideally, the eyes and smile are noticed first. If your nose is overly prominent or no in balance with the face, it can detract attention from the rest of your face. A nose job helps put your face into harmony, allowing your natural beauty to shine through. A well-performed rhinoplasty can easily take someone from “7” to “9” or “10,” but this will vary by individual. I hope this helps.

A goal of rhinoplasty is to improve a distracting nasal appearance. If you have dissatisfaction with your nasal appearance, consider consulting with several rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what might be best for you. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph.

This is actually a great question. Yes, a Rhinoplasty could dramatically change your face for the better, if done correctly by a board certified plastic surgeon. The nose is a significant feature of the face and you want it to enhance your features and confidence.

Generally speaking
rhinoplasty will refine your nose so it is more in balance with the other
characteristics of your face. For example in you have a large bump or bulbous
tip, after rhinoplasty your nose will be in more balance with the rest of your
face and it will bring out the other characteristics of your face, e.g. your
eyes. Your surgeon should be primarily concerned with achieving your expectations,
and I personally conform patient’s surgery to give you the most natural results
that are in line with your other facial features.

Rhinoplasty definitely has the potential to dramatically
impact the aesthetics of the entire face. When performing rhinoplasty surgery, the nose must always be considered
in the context of other facial structures.The best results are obtained when surgery results in balance,
proportion and harmony between the nose and other facial structures.In many
cases, subtle changes can drastically impact facial aesthetics by bringing the
nose into alignment with other facial structures. This may ultimately make the chin appear more
prominent or make the eyes look larger. Ultimately, these changes improve facial aesthetics by improving facial
balance and proportion.It’s
hard for patients to visualize how rhinoplasty can impact other facial
features. For this reason, we routinely
utilized preoperative computer imaging in rhinoplasty patients. This procedure helps patients visualize how
rhinoplasty effects the surrounding facial structures.If
you’re concerned about how rhinoplasty surgery will impact your overall facial
aesthetics, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is
appropriate. This surgeon should be able
to use advanced technology to illustrate these changes.

The answer to your question,  it depends. Someone who is looking to either dramatically augment their nose or reduce their nose can potentially have a dramatic change. Meaning an individual who has either a extremely large dorsum or an individual who has a extremely saddled bridge a rhinoplasty.  Although these changes can be significant the goal for any rhinoplasty surgery is to achieve harmony with the other facial structures and a natural result.

I would not focus on being a 7, 8, 9, or 10 on an attractiveness scale. That is extremely subjective and not worth your time, as you will never be happy with the outcome. Rhinoplasty is my favorite operation because it can have such a profound impact on a person's self esteem and confidence, and is a very artistic operation. It is the pinnacle of plastic surgery. A great rhinoplasty leaves you with the nose that fits your face and you feel like you were meant to have all along. it doesn't leave you with a weird looking nose or something unnatural. it does not physically affect the size of your lips, cheeks, or anything else, though if you feel that your nose is something that draws unusual attention, getting a rhinoplasty and creating a nose that fits your face and doesn't draw attention to it may relatively speaking bring out your eyes or other features of your face that others weren't noticing before if they were focusing on your nose. But again, try to remember that everyone is different and that is what makes facial features so fascinating. A rhinoplasty should make your version of you feel great and look great, but you're not going to necessarily look like someone else, nor should you try to.
-David Mattos, Harvard trained plastic surgeon

A nose job tends to give better facial balance, so when a rhinoplasty is performed correctly, the results looks quite natural.  A natural-looking nose blends as a part of the facial features, rather than a prominent feature on the patient’s face.  The balance makes any self-conscious awareness of a deformity diminish and self-confidence improves.  Degree of change to establish this balance varies with each patient.

What you need to understand is that each and every patient is special in what their needs are and what the possibilities are. The most important thing in this process that you need to make sure you do is to find a board certified surgeon who specializes in Rhinoplasty surgery and have a discussion about your goals. None of us can tell you how it will change your overall beauty. I have patients that a Rhinoplasty makes unbelievable difference in as far as overall looks and others that have subtle change that does not alter them much. Not to be corny, but beauty is within the eye of the beholder. It is so true for you because none of us know how it will change you. I can tell you that when I had my Rhinoplasty when I was 22 it changed the way that I carried myself tremendously. I can not tell you if it made me better looking, but I did it for myself and am very happy with the way it looks. If carrying yourself with better confidence can make you look better, which I think it can, then I am sure if you pick the right surgeon to give you the right nose, it will change you in some way forever. See as many surgeons as it takes until you find the one who makes you feel confident in them and that has shown you great results. The key to all of this is that you and your future surgeon be on the exact same page with what you are trying to do. You should also know that at times certain patients who I see for Rhinoplasty surgery also need to have their chin altered and that can really change the way you look for the better. So make sure your surgeon assesses the position of your chin as well to make sure it sits in an aesthetic position to complement your face and your future new nose.
