I've always wanted for my nose bridge to be even just a little bit more prominent so I could at least contour with makeup without it looking so drawn on and harsh. My nose is also kind of upturned so I worry about what it will look like if I got a highter nose bridge. I want the tip and the alar to look natural with the nose bridge. I think what I want looks most similar to Catriona Gray's nose but with (a pointier or) less of a button tip.

Answer: My nose is quite small, flat, and my bridge is almost non-existent. What kind of procedures can I do to improve it? Hello and thank you for the question and sharing your photos. You have a flat nasal bridge, a bulbous tip and alar flaring. You will benefit from nasal tip refinement and augmentation of your nasal bridge using cartilage grafting. My best advice is that you discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in performing rhinoplasty. I would ask to see before and after pictures of their real patients. It's important that you trust your surgeon's skills and ability to achieve the results you are looking for. In particular, pay attention to your surgeon's experience with rhinoplasty. Best, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty which can be performed by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. You may also benefit from dorsal augmentation with diced cartilage wrapped in fascia (DCF). Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
