I have decided to have a rhinoplasty. I don't hate my nose, but my deviated tip and my right profile bother me. I have strong cartilage but very thin skin, therefore I have noticed that the cartilage from the right side of my nose tip is larger than the left one. Consequently my tip looks deviated to the right. On the other hand I have a small bump on the left side of my bridge that bizarrely can just be seen from my 3/4 right profile.
Can the right side be fixed without changing the left one? I appreciate very much the way you are sharing your knowledge. Thanks!
Answer: Rhinoplasty for Minor Change It is really impossible to perform rhinoplasty on one side of the nose. The nose is a whole unit and needs to be treated as such. The changes that are done is a change of the whole nose and you need to be ready for that. It does not mean that you will have a dramatic change if you dont want one, but the whole nose will be operated on.

Answer: Rhinoplasty on one side of the nose Sometimes subtle changes to one side of the nose can be corrected with a rhinoplasty. In your case, it is difficult to tell from your photos alone whether or not that would be the case. You may have a deviated septum, and that can only be seen by a physical exam. I would recommend having a consult with a Plastic Surgeon where you can be examined in person, and your septum can be evaluated. I would also request computer imaging of what he/she proposes to do and how that would change the look of your nose. Good luck!

Answer: One Sided Rhinoplasty Ends Up as Full Rhinoplasty Although the problem with a nose might be only on one side it usually involves balancing the whole nose. A change in one area leads to a change in other area. In a few very select cases a small sliver of the bump can be removed without a lot of other work. However, thats not the norm.

Answer: Rhinoplasty (nose job) options Even if one side of the nose is corrected, surgery is essentially performed in the same manner as a two sided correction. Are you planning on leaving the left bridge alone? Surgical improvement is possible and I would meet with qaulified surgeons to discuss your options.
