Possibility of achieving following results without throwing off facial harmony? (Photo)

Question

1.Just wanted to ask if it’s possible to achieve the following without potentially ruining facial harmony : 1. Tip reduction 2. Alar base reduction 3. Perfect/near perfect nasal symmetry 4. Slightly shorter nose 2. If the answer is yes to the previous question how can that be confirmed? Can surgeons give an image of a client with the following changes? 3. Worried abt harmony here as nose jobs reducing humps usually don’t affect it negatively while reducing width more likely

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photos, with the sde of your face photo your surgeon can be done a simulation for you to show you what is going to look like after the surgery. Your wishes can be achievable wit the rhinoplasty surgery. Please keep in mind that %10 symmetry is not achievable in any case. You surgeon can be improve your symmetry but cannot make perfect. Best Regards!

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photo. While perfect symmetry is impossible to achieve, rhinoplasty can correct the issues you mentioned for a more symmetrical, natural-looking result that complements the rest of your facial features. The tip can be redefined and the alar base reduced for a harmonious nasal appearance. 
It’s important to mention that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to use imaging morphing software to help you create a goal for your desired rhinoplasty results.

Hello,
These changes can be made with surgical rhinoplasty procedure. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and provide you with mock up images of the possible outcome from surgery.

Ryan Rebowe, MD · Answer

I would say that the answer to almost all of your questions is yes. The base width can be narrowed, dorsal hump taken down, the tip can be refined and the overall nose projection can be shortened. I would caution you on your expectations. The goal of course for both patient and surgeon is the "perfect" result, however the shape of the nose is due to specific anatomic features. While some of these features can be corrected completely or near completely, others will see a more modest result. In particular, reducing projection may give you a more modest result than you may want. There are some surgeons that will use a modelling application to give you an approximation of the end result, but please remember that this is just a computer model and is not a guarantee of a final result. Either way, I would make sure that you are utilizing a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon to get the absolute best results.

Only on the basis of in person consultation, a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, could give you an answer on these questions. Based on this photo, you seem to be a good candidate for rhionoplasty. Good luck.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

I agree with all the things you want done. I think by facial harmony you may mean looking natural. I think you can get a. Very natural result but selecting the right surgeon is the most important thing
