I was wondering what procedures do you think I'd benefit from in order to get an overall more ballanced/harmonious and attractive appereance. I am open to hearing both non surgical and surgical options. Thank you.

Answer: Rhinoplasty, lip lift and chin implant I recommend a rhinoplasty, lip lift and chin implant. The rhinoplasty will refine the tip of your nose, decrease the projection and straighten the dorsum. A chin implant will give you a more straight profile and the side view will improve. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Facial balance Rhinoplasty to sculpt the rounded nasal tip with reduction of the nasal alae would help bring the attention toward your eyes. Pyriform aperture augmentation would also be helpful. This can be done permanently with a graft during the rhinoplasty or temporarily with filler. This will help your upper lip on profile view become more vertical with less backward slant. It appears that there may be upper eyelid droop (called ptosis). It is hard to tell with photos alone. Seeing an Oculoplastic surgeon who can repair eyelid ptosis would allow a definitive diagnosis. If you have ptosis then correction will make you appear more awake and brighten the eyes. In the meantime, you could try Upneeq (generic oxymetazoline) eye drops to see if it is helpful.
