Whenever I photograph/look in mirror at my nose, esp tip, under full light, like sunlight or room light, my nose looks significantly aesthetically dif. in mirror/pics than in real life. If I use hard light/shadowed light, where one half of my face is illuminated, & the other part isn't, & I take a pic/look in mirror on the shadowed side, then I'm able to see how my nose/tip really looks. I don't see this really in dr. pics online. (My nose/tip - mid eastern - has lot of irregularities btw)
Answer: Facial perception I think we see ourselves differently in photos than we do in the mirror. Also straight on rhinoplasty photos tend to flatten the image since they are two dimensional and sometimes don't show a true image.

Answer: My nose only looks the same in pics/mirror as real life w/ hard-lighting/shadows - Can drs. account for this in their pics? Hello Sim47,Thanks for your question.Shadows can change the way the nose looks from different angles.Proper medical photographs are intended to decrease shadowing irregularities to better evaluate asymmetries properly.I hope this answers your question.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Rhinoplasty photography There is no doubt about it, different cameras in different lights make the nose and face look completely different. Studio photography looks very different to a selfie taken on a iPhone. Shadows can highlight different convexities and concavities that are not visible with balanced studio lighting. You can ask your surgeon to take some simple flash photos or use the photos that are bothering you in their simulation. The good news is that your nose does actually look like it does in the good photos as well as the bad. In real life people will never analyse your nose as much as in a photograph so it's important not to focus too much on them.

Answer: Noses look different with different lighting and shadows When photographing the face and the nose, there are many variables which include lighting, distance from the camera, the lens used the camera, and angle from which the photograph was taken of the nose. In our practice, we are very consistent with our before and after photographs which are all taken at the same position with the same lighting with the same camera and the same lens setting. For many examples of rhinoplasty, please see our photo gallery link below
