Hello, I was considering having a rhinoplasty procedure, but had some questions concerning it. I have read up on this for almost a year, but this question tends to stir up the most controversy: Would it be good for me to bring pictures in of desired noses? Second, I am a male with a very long nose, so would I be able to make my nose smaller and more defined; rather than long, and "chubby." The reason I ask this second question is because most of the before and after photos that I have seen of people with long noses has not demonstrated much difference in them. Meaning it seems as if the surgeon only made slight decreases in his/her nose. Why is this?

Answer: Additional photos and collateral for your rhinoplasty consultation Absolutely, it is always great to bring in as much information and photos as you can.....you and your surgeon need to be on the same page. Most important though, make sure your surgeon has a sophisticated morphing program so you and he can review what is realistic and what the results are going to resemble after the surgery.

Answer: Rhinoplasty pictures It is always helpful for a patient to bring pictures in of noses that they like. It doesn't necessarily mean that the surgeon is going to be able to replicate that nose - it all depends on your anatomy to start out with, facial structure, etc. However, it does give the surgeon an idea of what the patient is thinking about and what he/she may need to do to get you close to your ideal.

Answer: Rhinoplasty goals Since we all have different facial shapes and appaearnces, the best result after a rhinoplasty is one that looks best on and fits your face. In my practice there is no such thing as a "cookie cutter nose" which really should be a thing of the past. Bringing in photos during your consultaton may help in order to determine your aesthetic ideals. Obviuously Brad Pitts's nose will not look good on Arnold Schwarazegger. In a thoruough discussion with you and your experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, we can determine what wil be best appearng on your face in order to look as if you were born with you new nose. Computer imaging software can be used by your surgeon to show you what he / she thnks that they may be able to achieve with your nose. Pictures are worth 1000 words.
