What rhinoplasty should I get?

Hi Sophia,In order to give you more informaiton please suppl visual documantaions. Yes there are multiple techniques about rhinoplasty but need to evaluate after your video documentaions to choose which is best for you.

My most helpful answer is to define the difference between liquid rhinoplasty and surgical rhinoplasty. What determines which approach to take involves 1)the configuration of your nose and 2)your goals. Liquid rhinoplasty entails injecting filler into the nose to camouflage a bump or to give volume to a deficient area. There are only a few configurations that lend themselves to this route, because most noses with bumps already have too much volume, and an injectable will make the nose look bigger in that instance.. Liquid rhinoplasty can be done without anesthesia, and is a treatment-room (as compared to operating-room) procedure. Results are immediate and downtime is usually non-existent or minimal. Liquid rhinoplasty is usually temporary. Surgical rhinoplasty, on the other hand, entails operating on the nose to remove tissue, reconfigure tissue, file bones, resculpt cartilage, remove bumps, create projection, etc. By rearranging bone and cartilage, the entire structure of the nose can be reworked. Surgical rhinoplasty is performed under anesthesia in the operating room. The recovery time for surgical rhinoplasty is usually somewhere between 7-10 days. Results are permanent. Both have benefits, so my best advice is for you to see a board certified plastic surgeon in person for a physical exam and to discuss your goals and expectations.

Hello sophia,
Yes, broadly there are 2 types of rhinoplasty. The closed and the open type rhinoplasty. The most appropriate approach for you can be selected after seeing your nose and examining it. If its only nasal hump reduction, a closed rhinoplasty will be enough. There could be multiple other things that might need correction in your nose which you would not have noticed, that can only be appreciated by an expert plastic surgeon. Like nostril size, alar base, your nasal airway, nose width, nasal tip and columella deformity, which are best addressed by open rhinoplasty.
I suggest you to meet a board certified plastic surgeon to get the best opinion of your nose. Hope this helps you. Thank you for your enquiry.

You should go on a few consults with surgeons in your area known for rhinoplasty.? You will probably get different opinions from each surgeon but at least you will be educated so you can make an informed decision

What type of Rhinoplasty is performed for a dorsal hump? Liquid filler to camouflage a bump is not a surgical procedure and does not have a permanent result. It also fills in the root of the nose which gives the nose a strong “Greek or Roman statue“ appearance this look is more appropriate on a male than a female and is not a very feminine look. If a patient has a dorsal hump and wants to remove it a rhinoplasty is the surgical procedure that is performed for that purpose. There are different ways to achieve this but these are just variations in technique all of which should have approximately the same result . which technique a particular surgeon uses usually depends on his own training and comfort level

Thank you for your questions.
Injection of fillers can camouflage the hump and provide an aesthetically pleasing result on suitable patients. However, this method is usually a temporary measure. Surgical rhinoplasty can permanently remove your nasal hump.
I would suggest that you consult with an expert rhinoplasty surgeon and discuss what you do and do not like about your nose.
The use of manipulated (morphed) digital clinical photography provides a platform for discussion as to your desires and expectations. Such images are not a guarantee of exact results, but a great tool to ensure that you and your surgeon are on the same wavelength.
Best wishes,

Liquid rhinoplasty is not a surgery but a procedure done with fillers. In surgical rhinoplasty, there are different techniques such as open structural rhinoplasty, closed rhinoplasty, preservation rhinoplasty and so on. Your doctor will examine you and tell which technique will fit best for you. If you want further opinion, please send pictures front side, profile and 45 degree angles.

A full set of facial photographs are required to make a determination about how best to proceed. In our practice, we perform closed rhinoplasty with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required.

Rhinoplasty is a term that pretty much means doing anything to the nose to change its shape. There are hundreds of techniques that can be employed during a rhinoplasty in order to get the desired shape and function. There are rhinoplasties that can take an hour (simple tip refinement and hump reduction) and can take as long as 4-5 hours for functional and aesthetic rhinoplasties involving grafts from either your rib or a cadaver. If you wanted to provide any pictures of your nose, we could probably provide you with a more specific answer tailored to you. Thanks!
