Hi everyone, I would like to improve my side profile. I don't like how my nose looks from the side. I do not want to change the tip of my nose because I like how it suits my face. I also think my nose looks alright from the front, just not the side. Is it possible to only change the side profile of the nose and leave the tip alone? I prefer a subtle natural result. What would be the price range of this rhinoplasty?
Answer: What you should know about rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and for providing photos. It is possible to address the concerns you have about your side profile while keeping the tip of your nose intact. This would likely involve shaving down the dorsal hump slightly to provide balanced, natural-looking results. Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome.

Answer: Profile contouring verse full rhinoplasty: Profile contouring verse full rhinoplasty: it is always theoretically possible to contour the profile without changing the front view very much. Most people who undergo rhinoplasty have most of their change in the profile. You have a small dorsal hump which could easily be trimmed. However when the dorsal hub is trimmed The nasal bones have to be moved inward to close the “open roof“ left by trimming the dorsal hump. this narrows the bridge. You have a slightly bulbous nasal tip which isn’t so obvious on your current nose but would stand in contrast to a thinner bridge if you should have the dorsal hump removed and not address the tip. so I don’t know if there would be many plastic surgeons who would want to address your bridge without addressing the tip

Answer: Is it possible to have a rhinoplasty targeting side profile w/o altering tip? In general, the answer is no. When we lower a profile bump from the top to the bottom, ligaments from your bridge to your tip will become severed. If nothing is done to your nasal tip, it may droop after bridge-only surgery. Great question, and it's asked a lot. Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty Lowering the bridge only is certainly possible. You will still need the bones broken. Closed rhinoplasty is ideal in a situation where you don’t want to do anything to the tip
