Would a rhinoplasty improve the asymmetry in my face & improve my overall facial harmony? (Photo)

Question

My nose has always bothered me because of how it lacks harmony with my other facial features. I am not looking for a slimmer nose because I think that would make my eyes look far apart, if anything I want a slightly wider & more symmetrical nose that compliments my face better & makes my eyes seem less far apart. I’m not expecting perfection, I just want improvement to feel more confident in my looks. pls help! idk how to achieve this & if i can with only a rhinoplasty

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty, I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos unfortunately, 100% symmetry is not possible, your nose can be brought to the midline, but again, the wing inequality may remain, albeit minimal, this is a condition related to facial asymmetry, but it is still possible to get a much better image than it is now with a single surgery.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

In our experience, a good looking nose is a nose that does not call attention to itself. Since you have a small and unobtrusive nasal appearance, I suspect that rhinoplasty surgery would not provide the facial harmony that you were looking for. Personally, I do not think that your eyes look too far apart, and you appear to have an overall pleasing facial appearance. I hope these words of reassurance are helpful. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Your nose is slightly crooked and leaning to the left side.  The tip has slight asymmetry as well.  You may benefit from a rhinoplasty but the improvement will be subtle.

Best Wishes,

Difficult to offer definitive recommendation without profile view but from submitted information my inclination would be to improve your capacity to enjoy your rich endowment of natural beauty and allure.  From the front view your nose appears perfect and (my opinion) quite proportional with your face, feminine, and perfect enough that rhinoplasty risks liability more than promises asset.  Well applied cosmetics, a great hair stylist, and an authentic smile put you in celebrity category.
