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: Rhinoplasty befores and afters and photography can be difficult. Dear Sim47 in Orange County California: The most important photographs are those that your surgeon will take. Because physically experienced cosmetic facial surgeons have excellent photographic setups whereby shadowing and distortion is eliminated. Medical photography is not the same as social photography. Remember, the iphones and other devices do not have portrait-quality lenses. Typically on front views of noses the tip is disproportionally larger because of the nature of the lens. Profiles tend to be a little more accurate. When you go for your consultation a set of photographs will be taken and they will be shared with you. They can be emailed to you the next day after the consultation. Of course, you want to have computer imaging to see the predicted result of the procedure. That is very important. Do your homework before you visit. Have several consultations. Prepare a written agenda and notes. Bring friends or family with you. Review the various doctors’ websites. Look carefully at the before and after photos and look for sites that are rich in knowledge and photographs, of course. Read patient reviews and testimonials very carefully. A consensus is generally correct. You will get the right picture of the practice if you study those, guaranteed. The prospects for success and satisfaction will be directly proportional to how much you prepare and study prior to your consultations.

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
