Hi, I have moderate breathing issues due to my deviated septum and I get chronic bloody noses due when I clean my nostrils due to the buildup of debris in my nose. Also, my nose is a bit oversized for my face and is moderately asymmetrical as well. My face and hairline are also asymmetrical so I understand that I may need to lower my expectations for a symmetrical correction but I'd like to see what I can get. So, I'm looking for a good doctor who can fix my septum and make my nose smaller.
Answer: You are a reasonable candidate for a *conservative* reduction rhinoplasty. More ... You don't have a prominently droopy tip. You don't have a prominently over-projecting nose, so those two corrections, commonly done to make a nose look smaller, would have to be modest in extent: a *small* elevation of the tip and a *small* deprojection, maybe. You have a dorsal bump that I see, but lowering your bridge too much would give your nose a feminine appearance, especially with your tall face, so that part of the operation has to be conservative as well. There could possibly be some narrowing from the front, but there, too, only a small amount. Your expectations for a rhinoplasty must be a small change, not because a large change isn't possible, but because it's probably not advisable.

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery is typically performed to improve both cosmetic and functional concerns. If you have chronic nasal obstruction from a deviated nasal septum, and if you're displeased with the appearance of your nose, please consider visiting several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what to expect after surgery. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Your nose and septum Your nose and septum: you appear to have a large nose which is somewhat long and over projecting for your face. If you also have a deviated septum, it is common to address this along with the rhinoplasty. The combined procedure is referred to as a septoRhinoplasty and is a large percentage of most nasal specialists surgical practice.

Answer: Chin augmentation In your photographs, your nose appears large. However, you have a beard and it would be nice to see what you chin looks like. It is possible that chin augmentation with implant would balance your face more. Remember, if we reduce your nose and size, you will reduce the nostrils as well. If you are having problems breathing, this will make the situation worse. Certainly, a septoplasty, cosmetic rhinoplasty and turbinates can be dealt with in one surgery by most surgeons.
