Question

I would just like to know, I've been always curious about what shape my nose is, and if it needs a nose job, it's been a couple years now of where I have been insecure and I would just like to know what my nose shape is

No one "NEEDS" a nose job/rhinoplasty. Only you can decide whether you want one based off of the risks and benefits. Can your nose be better? Sure, but almost everyone can handle some improvement in their nose and not everyone is getting plastic surgery. If anything, the most obvious thing I see on your side profile that I would consider looking into is building up the chin area.

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photo there is no category to include your nose shape. You have a dorsal hump and for get rid of this image I recommend you rhinoplasty surgery.It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

You have a small dorsal hump. Your nasal lip area is good. Unfortunately, you have not provided a frontal view so it is hard to assess your tip. However, your biggest cosmetic deformity is not your nose but your chin. I recommend a chin implant. This is done intra-orally with no external scar and would make the biggest difference of all. This can also be done at the same time of the nose.

It looks like you've just uploaded a side-profile view of your nose. Usually, nose-shape and nose aesthetics are assessed from the front, side, and basal (bottom) views. Also, there is no nose shape, that NEEDS a nose job. The decision to have a rhinoplasty is a personal one for patients who want to change the appearance of their nose for a variety of reasons. If you have specific concerns about the appearance of your nose, you should schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon to address those specific concerns and generate a plan to address those concerns. All of that said, rhinoplasty can be a transformative procedure that can correct or improve a variety of nasal concerns. Thanks for your question!

William Portuese, MD · Answer

From the limited photographs, you have a dorsal hump, which is composed of both bone and cartilage on the bridge line of your nose. A closed rhinoplasty can accomplish removal of the dorsal hump with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. You also have a recessive chin profile, so strongly consider placement of a chin implant for better facial balance and proportions, especially with respect to your nose from the side profile.
