Is it possible to define and slightly lower a rounded, upturned nose? (photos)

Question

I’m a 22 year old female and I’ve always felt that my nose was too upturned while being rounded at the same time. I have a weak jawline even after medically necessary orthognathic surgery, so I feel it doesn’t really fit together. It’s been difficult for me to find others who have the same nose and results of their rhinoplasty so I’d like to ask if results similar to the photos attached would be possible while maintaining some integrity of my natural nose?

Hello, and thank you for your question. If you are seeking subtle enhancements for your nose, you may want to consider non-surgical rhinoplasty that uses dermal fillers. When strategically placed by a skilled injector, dermal fillers can provide subtle, natural-looking results. Specifically, if the nasal tip curves upward or does not come to a narrow, rounded point, a non-surgical rhinoplasty can subtly reshape the end of the nose for a natural, elegant look.

However, if you are looking for a more dramatic tip rotation, surgical rhinoplasty may be a better choice for you. This procedure is very complex, requiring precision, skill and artistry to perform correctly. It is essential to choose a facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in nose reshaping to ensure an optimal outcome.

To best determine the appropriate procedures for you, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper assessment of your skin and facial profile, determine the ideal treatment or combination of treatments for you, and ensure the best possible results.

Lengthening a short nose is very difficult. Even dropping it a few millimeters. Look on line at pictures demonstrating how successful this procedure is likely to be before proceeding
