How can I fix my polly beak nose, what procedure should I get? (photos)

Question

I’m 18, young. I’ve always been self conscious of my nose, I’m sure it’s a pollybeak nose. I know it’ll cost a lot but I first want to know what I need done.

The tip is droopy and partly from the hump on the bridge. This can be easily fixed with a rhinoplasty that involves hump reduction and lifting the tip with suturing techniques or cartilage grafts

Many women who come to our office requesting rhinoplasty have issues just like you - an overprojected nasal profile and a droopy tip. Goals of surgery may be to lift your tip and to transform the convexity on your nasal bridge to a gentle feminine curve. The best time to get this right is the first time, so please consult with physicians who specialize primarily in nasal surgery - with nice B&A photo galleries. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Polly beak is generally used to describe a deformity after rhinoplasty but the same rules apply for your case. The cartilage on the bridge of your nose needs to be sufficiently lowered to give your nose a straight profile. Very basic rhinoplasty stuff.

What to do for a “poly beak” shaped nose? Your profile does have a convex shape which is sometimes referred to as a poly beak. This is one of the most common type profiles that is routinely addressed with a rhinoplasty.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph.
Indeed it seems that you have a pollybeak deformity meaning that the area above your nasal tip (also called the supratip) is the highest part of the nose when seen from a profile view. Rhinoplasty can address this deformity.
I would suggest that you consult with an expert rhinoplasty surgeon and discuss what you do and do not like about your nose.

You should expect a full detailed examination of your nose is required to assess your nasal skin, cartilage, bony structures, and your nasal airway/ breathing. This will allow the surgeon to evaluate your nasal appearance and its relation to your facial features.

The use of manipulated (morphed) digital clinical photography provides a platform for discussion as to your desires and expectations. Such images are not a guarantee of exact results, but a great tool to ensure that you and your surgeon are on the same wavelength.
Best wishes,

Much more information is needed, such as a full set of facial photographs from all angles to make a determination about how best to proceed, since the nose is a three-dimensional structure. Digital computer imaging would be helpful to see what can be accomplished with your nose upon your facial features. The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage which must be shaved down in order to remove it and improve your side profile. A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish your goals with all incisions placed on the inside of the nose. Choose your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience

It is called a full rhinoplasty surgery. Fees range from $8,000-$18,000. Best to seek in person or virtual consultations.
