I'm looking into rhinoplasty which possibly includes nostril tuck since I want a noticeable smaller nose. I've been postponing it for years now.. because I've heard nostril asymmetry occasionally happens! How can I achieve my goal? Which is smaller more narrow nose with symmetry of the both nostrils??
Answer: Rhinoplasty and nostril symmetry: Rhinoplasty and nostril symmetry: from your pictures it appears that you have a large nose. More specifically, it appears to be long and over projecting with a tip which is bulbous and plunges somewhat downward with smiling. You do not show a picture from underneath looking up at the nostrils, so it is difficult to see if the nostrils are symmetric, and if they are wide enough to require a nostril tuck. A Rhinoplasty would make a nice difference on your otherwise very pretty face. A minor degree of nostril asymmetry is possible if a nostril tuck is performed along with the rhinoplasty. In most cases a nostril tuck is not needed when performing a rhinoplasty. It is only performed in those cases where the nostrils are excessively wide. In those cases it is always possible that a small asymmetry could result if the nostrils were previously symmetric or persist if they were not. This however is a very minor imperfection compared with the very large potential improvement you could have from a Rhinoplasty .

Answer: Rhinoplasty Please refer to my previous answer regarding nose narrowing and tip deprojection -- the tip deprojection will improve the nostril appearance as the skin re-drapes around the modified cartilage framework of the tip as it is deprojected. Essentially, the skin envelope contracts around the deprojected tip cartilage, in essence making the nostrils smaller and optimizing symmetry.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Yes, asymmetries can happen, but that's not the main issue here. More ... You have very strong tip cartilages. It is those cartilages that make the tip look wide, and make the tip sit low, especially on the 3/4 views, like the second photo you submitted of the 5. Work on those tip cartilages could narrow and elevate the tip. Almost everyone sees *some* sort of asymmetry after surgery, but when that asymmetry appears on a smaller nose, they look smaller, too.
