I need to lift the tip of my nose. Am i candidate for closed rhinoplasty? i tend to scar and am concerned how this will look if done with open. how can i find a doctor that is qualified without spending hundreds in consultation fees?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photos your nose has; droopy tip, hump on the bridge and hanging columella. For get rid of these things you may need; alar base reduction and external graft. So this is the reasons that why you should not get closed rhinoplasty. With the closed rhinoplasty you do not have any scar but you would not achieve your wishes. You will only get rid of the hump. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Answer: External rhinoplasty incisions tend to be invisible. In our practice, we perform nearly all of our rhinoplasties with a columella incision. In our experience, the open approach allows for better visualization of the nasal tip structures that may need lifting and projection. The best advice is to find a few surgeons who has before and after photos that you find pleasing. I think it's helpful if your surgeon or first computer Imaging as well. Once you find somebody that produces favorable rhinoplasty outcomes, you can go on Several consultations and learn what might be best for you moving forward.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi @Mclaud! Thank you for sending your photos. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination. A rhinoplasty in my opinion is one of the most difficult procedures to perform. I utilize piezosurgery in my practice. Piezosurgery is a more gentle technique that allows for greater precision. Less bruising and swelling is common with Piezosurgery. In a typical rhinoplasty, a hammer and chisel technique is performed leading to more inadvertent fractures. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Closed Septorhinoplasty possible It is possible to have Closed Septorhinoplasty and elevate the tip without the need of an open technique which is more invasive and has more visible scarring.

Answer: I have a droopy nose tip. Am I a candidate for closed rhinoplasty? In person exam is essential. Based on limited photos - it appears that you would benefit from Rhinoplasty preferably performed through a closed technique. In the right hands you can expect a more feminine and refined nose. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS with a wide gallery of before+after photos
