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: Dorsal augmentation is a common component of treatment for the ethnic nose. From the photographs which don't supply adequate information it looks as though the dorsum of the nose would benefit aesthetically from augmentation. This can be done with septal cartilage or a synthetic. It looks as though the tip has poor support and a septal strut might be indicated. Finally if the nose is to upturned it might require some modest lengthening which can be accomplished with a dorsal graft. Video imaging would be a great way to determine your aesthetic goals and plan a workable operation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for small nose... From your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The best thing to do would be to see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon that has computer imaging. This will show you different possiblities so you can decide whether you like the bridge built up or not. Your nasal bridge is somewhat washed out, so building it up will probably look nice.

Answer: Correction of small, ethnic nose Augmentation of nose like yours is very challenging! It can be done with silicone implant (to increase height and length of the nose) or with cartilage grafts (rib usually), what is our preference. Beside elevating and lengthening the nose, it will include tip shaping and adjustment of nose base (nostrils) width. Other option would be to do routine rhinoplasty which will improve your tip and nose base but will not change length and height of the nose, which you seem to desire? In person consultation with a true expert in rhinoplasty to discuss your goals and options is recommended. Good luck.

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,

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.
