I have always disliked my nose, I feel the tip is awkward and round. Took a few pictures, am I a good candidate, if so what work would you recommend?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Looking at your photos, it appears you would be a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. I would recommend a consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. He or she will be able to evaluate your nose in person and provide you with advice. Computer imaging software may be used to morph a photo of you, which will give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate Yes, you are a good candidate if you have realistic expectations. Since you have fairly thick skin, you will not be able to achieve a very defined tip, although you could certainly expect some significant improvement. Also, you will have prolonged swelling that will likely last more than a year and will require some post operative steroid injections to manage. You bridge should be narrowed, and you should have an alar base reduction to reduce the flare of your nostrils. The most important thing you can do is to see someone who specializes in rhinoplasty and has experience in ethnic rhinoplasty specifically. Best of luck.

Answer: Yes, you could benefit from a rhinoplasty I think the details are important, and that is why a consultation and discussion with someone face to face is always better than the virtual world. Remember, a rhinoplasty is 3-D operation, and no matter how many pictures you take, they will always be 2-D. That being said, improvement is possible, and I think that would be the case with you as well. Of course, you have to be able to articulate the specifics, which is often hard to do outside of a consultation.
