My nose has always bothered me. I think it looks deformed and doesn't fit my face. I'm interested in a surgical rhino (closed if possible) to address the following: -bulbous, upturned tip -hanging columella -wide nostrils with lots of show -nasal flare when smiling widely (weirdly asymmetrical) I don't have a specific ideal nose picked out. I just want it to be more refined (without being pinched looking) and fit my face better. Thanks for your input.
Answer: Rhinoplasty You are a Great Candidate for Rhinoplasty . Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty device Piezo®: In traditional Rhinoplasty, surgical instruments known as rasps and osteotomies (hammer and chisel) are used to reshape the nasal bones by removing the hump and/or narrowing the nasal bone width. These tools are relatively imprecise and their use can lead to contour irregularities, etc. if not used in the proper manner. Recently, a technology that uses sound waves has been developed to contour nasal bones in a precise and far less traumatic way when compared to traditional techniques. Ultrasonic, or Piezo, Rhinoplasty is now the most advanced technology available for minimally traumatic nasal bone reshaping and hump removal during Rhinoplasty. There will be hardly any bruising and swelling which will make the recovery period a lot easier for the patient.

Answer: Nasal reduction... From the photos, it appears that you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. The tip can be made smaller to better fit your bridge. It is very important to see a rhinoplasty specialist where you can see lots of before and after photos. It's not an easy procedure and experience is key here.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Dear daduke, Thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, it appears that most of your results can be accomplished. Although it is hard to tell from photos alone, it would most likely need to be an open procedure. However, an in person assessment with a Board Certified Operating Surgeon must be completed in order to determine for sure. I suggest doing research in surgeons who specialize in this operation and scheduling a consultation. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Rhinoplasty options I agree with your observations. The tip of your nose is over-powering the rest of your face. The dorsum looks like it might not need much if anything. Reducing the tip is fairly routine for experienced rhinoplasty surgeons. I would want to do it using an open approach in order to see things directly and be more precise. sounds like it's time for you to get some real consultations. You should get a great result. Good luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for nasal tip refinement You have a uniquely appearing nose. The changes that you are seeking can certainly be accomplished. Your tip is not particularly bulbous, but it is over rotated and raising the medial crura and downward rotation of the nasal tip will certainly help to achieve the appearance you are looking for. A consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who will use computer imaging is also a very good way to help demonstrate the changes that you would like to see to the appearance of your nose.
