Is it possible to have only my side profile altered to create more of a “slope?” I like the front profile/size. Also, if this type of surgery is an option would that be invasive/less down time healing?
Answer: Yes Yes that can be done. And, it can be done in less than an hour in the OR as an outpatient procedure, or, it can be done in the office under local anesthesia in about 30 minutes. Watch our videos to learn more. By the way - no stitches needed or visible incisions. All done from inside your nose.

Answer: You may have an over projected nasal appearance on profile. Based on your photo, I suspect the both your bridge and tip stick out a bit too far. If you are looking to achieve a less projected nasal appearance on profile, I suspect that your tip would need to be moved closer to your face. Naturally, this would have some changes on front view, however, they should be negligible depending on your surgeon. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialist who offer computer imaging so you could see what might be feasible. Thank you so much for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Answer: Only side profile alteration is possible. The side profile of your nose is caused by the height of your nasal bones and your nasal cartilages. To obtain more of a slope in your nasal side profile, the bone, and the cartilage would need to be trimmed and lowered. If the lowering is only a couple of millimeters, that’s all that needs to be done. If the lowering is more than that, lowering the profile will result in the upper portion of your nose looking slightly wider in the frontal view. This is because from the top of your nasal dorsum downward, your nasal bones slope outward. As you lower your nasal dorsum the width of your nose appears to get wider. To correct this and return to your normal nasal proportions the nasal bones need to be moved inward, which is a very simple addition to lowering your nasal dorsum. Have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Side profile It is possible to only change the dorsum of your nose so it changes the side profile. You do not appear to need anything done from the frontal view. You have a straight dorsum and do not recommend a concave "ski slope". However, this is your choice.

Answer: Yes this is possible Yes this is absolutely possible. Changes to the shape of the dorsum is the most common inciting reason for patients to sit in front of rhinoplasty surgeons.
