I have a very distinctive nose. It’s a hugeeeee insecurity of mine. To the point I wear a hat everyday so people don’t focus on it. It’s really affecting my day to day love. When I smile it looks huge. Is my type of nose a difficult rhinoplasty? I’m just worried it’s going to be crazy expensive because I’ll most likely need a piece of rib for the tip of my nose.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question. If you have had a previous operation, you may need to use extra cartilage from the ribs and ear. I recommend a rhinoplasty operation for a more feminine and elegant look. It would be better face to face consultation. Best Regards!

Answer: Rhinoplasty You have prominent lower lateral cartilage at the tip of your nose, but the rest of your nasal structure looks excellent. During a consultation, you’d want to discuss your specific cosmetic goals with your surgeon. In your case, surgery would likely involve reshaping the nasal tip using small cartilage grafts to create a more refined contour. If you haven’t had prior nasal surgery, it’s very likely that the necessary cartilage could be harvested from your nasal septum rather than requiring rib cartilage.

Answer: You're a candidate; all rhinoplasties entail complexity Yes, you are a candidate for a rhinoplasty. Although all rhinoplasties are complex and challenging because it is a difficult procedure, there is nothing about your nose in particular that would make performing a rhinoplasty any more difficult than another case. I would recommend getting a consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist (someone who is board-certified in facial plastic surgery) to evaluate.

Answer: Tip bulbosity Hi,Your nose tip seems large and has convex cartilage ,combined a thin skin .other parts of the nose are good .if you hadnt have any nose surgery before,your septum cartilage will be enough to make your Rhinoplasty. it is not common to use rib cartilage in primary rhinoplasties because most of them has enough septum cartilage inside.of course each rhinoplasty has its unique complexity in each individiual.your nose doesnt seem as complex as your mention. Best Regards, Emin Eren,MDAesthetic and Functional Nose Surgery

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you so much for your questions and providing photos! I actually think based on your photos that you would be a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. Your nasal skin looks fairly thin which is likely why you can see the ridges/edges of the cartilage underneath the surface. I personally believe each rinoplasty comes with its own unique challenges and difficulties. I think yours would be the same, with its own challenges, but I absolutely think you could achieve a great result with surgery. I also think it is unlikely that you would need rib cartilage. I will often use rib cartilage in the case of significant trauma or previous nasal surgery, but in your cause I think we could avoid this. I would however plan on potentially getting fascia (thin layer of tissue on top of the muscle) from behind your ear to help with the thin skin. I think your best bet is to schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon that is well versed in rhinoplasty and someone you ultimately feel comfortable with to move forward with surgery. I think you have the opportunity to get a real home run result. Hope this helps and best of luck!Kyle Kimura, MD
