Male,20. Do I need a rhinoplasty? Also, do I have a recessed mandible or maxilla? (photos)

You do not appear to have a weak chin or upper lip appearance on profile. You appear to have an underprojected nasal tip appearance and a dorsal hump. Issues like this may be repaired with rhinoplasty surgery, depending on your exam. Thank you. Dr Joseph

Do you need a Rhinoplasty? Since a rhinoplasty is purely cosmetic and elective in nature, it is clear that no one “needs” a Rhinoplasty. However if you should want a Rhinoplasty, you do have a typical dorsal hump which is the most common feature addressed during routine rhinoplasty. In your profile it does not appear that you have any abnormality of the projection of your mandible or maxilla.

Based on your photo, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The bump can be taken down and the tip better projected. This will create a much better nasal shape from the side that also looks masculine and natural. Your chin is fine. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.
