What kind of nose do I have? (Photo)

Question

I asked this question before but now I have pictures to show. What will they do? I know they'll get rid of the bump I have but should I leabe the front alone or just keep it the way it is. Sometimes it looks okay but other times it doesn't. idk it's weird.

Rhinoplasty is typically a procedure in which the aesthetic results are dependent on the patient's desires.  We do not make a "cookie cutter" nose for all patients, but instead seek to create the nose the patient wants, within the limitations of the patient's anatomy.  From looking at your photos, it appears you have a small hump which can be easily corrected with rhinoplasty.  As far a tip modification, small changes can also be made if that is what you desire.  I suggest consulting with a board certified surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty to discuss all your options.  I have provided a link below.  Good Luck!

The rhinoplasty procedure is customized artistically for each individual patient. It's important to be very specific with your surgeon on the changes you would like to  have performed on your nodes. The dorsal hump can be shaved down, the bridge line narrowed, the tip narrowed and refined, all through closed rhinoplasty techniques as an outpatient surgical procedure. For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below

You have many options for rhinoplasty, but the best way to get an answer to your question is with a consultation.  Physical examination is as important as your appearance.  There are issues to discuss that will affect the choices for you.  A consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is a good place to start.

A possible rhinoplasty option for you if you desire one. Best to seek in person evaluations from PSs in your area..

This is so hard to do over the internet with photos that just show the nose and not the face. Since the nose is integral to the face, it is an aesthetic unit in the middle of the face. All the facial feature play a part in it's appearance and relationship, one cannot evens the nose lip relationship in the photos.  Photos are also two-dimensional and an in person face to face evaluation is three-dimensional. So to say specifically I would do this or I would do that is in my estimation unrealistic.Simply find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area who does a lot of rhinoplasties,  take the time to visit, get an in person opinion. Take lots of notes, ask lots of questions and bring a friend ( a second set of ears to listen and remember), look at lots of photos and then decide what you think about the surgeon, his / her suggestions and are they something you wish to pursue.Good LuckStephen M.
