I need another perspective on my nose (Photo)

Hi from Istanbul Turkey. This is Dr Burak Olgun speaking. You are a good candidate for a surgery because you seems to have thinner skin and this causes to see surgery result easier than thick skin patients. Also the changes you want is achievable, doctor will reduce the hump and make the nose brigde more defined and tip area smaller than it is. If you tend to go natural looks or a little lifted tips both will look good on your face.

Hello and thank you for your question and the pictures. Addressing the shape of your nose (especially the nasal tip) is actually one of the most common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty. An open septorhinoplasty can best address both your aesthetic concerns and any functional issues with your nose. I would be able to adjust the size, shape, and definition of your nose (particularly the tip)! I'd be able to give you a nose that perfectly balances and naturally fits your face!

This truly is a surgery of millimeters- and whether you're looking for a minor adjustment or a major transformation, it requires exceptional surgical skill to achieve functional and natural-looking results! Because your nose is the DEFINING feature of your face- I would only recommend seeing a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty procedures, and who has significant training and experience performing these surgeries. I actually trained under one of the world leading rhinoplasty experts (who performs 1,000+ nosejobs annually).

I recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with rhinoplasties) to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate your options, and develop a personalized plan just for you. I hope this helps!

A Rhinoplasty addresses the top, tip and nostrils when necessary. Choosing a qualified surgeon is key.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty operation, your skin structure seems to be normal skin, a more harmonious image can be obtained by slightly filing your nose bridge and slightly lifting your nose tip. For get rid of this image I recommend you rhinoplasty surgery.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. If you want to leave the bump alone, that is perfectly fine. You can have a surgery focused on the tip and general wideness of the nose to make it appear slimmer and better defined, while bringing in the nostrils at the same. I think you are correct in that it will make a natural improvement to your face overall. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

If you feel that your nose is too wide and has too much projection, these things can be addressed while still keeping the bump that you enjoy from your ancestral heritage. I see such issues routinely in my practice, and it's common for my patients to say they'd like to retain a bump or to retain a certain aspect of their nasal aesthetic while changing other aspects. In summary, a simple narrowing of your nasal bones and middle-vault cartilages as well as decreasing your nose's projection will help achieve your goals, while still allowing you to retain your bump. Your tip detail is good and the "worm's eye" view of your nostrils is favorable as well. One last point, I don't think it's sensible to operate on nostrils unless absolutely necessary, since one can always tell that they were tampered with -- no matter who performs the surgery.

Hi , It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure if needed and the post op recovery
process.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a good candidate for a Rhinoplasty. Maneuvers that could be performed on your nose include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, tip elevation, and tip deprojection. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

I agree that you have a pleasing nasal profile appearance, and if you are severely dissatisfied by the width of your nose on front view, please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

The features about your nose that you describe are treatable with finesse Rhinoplasty.....in the right hands. Overall, your nose looks good, especially the nasal tip which has great definition. The bump on the dorsum, width of the nasal bridge, and slight supratip dip can be addressed surgically. I would not be in favor of an alar base reduction to make the nostrils smaller. Good luck!
