I have always been self conscious of my nose. I feel like it over extends beyond where it should and the tip is uneven. I also hate the shape of my nostrils. I like the bridge and general shape. What do you recommend to improve its appearance and how invasive would the procedure be? Thank you!
Answer: Nasal improvement through rhinoplasty There are a number of subtle refinements that could be done with your nose. You may want to discuss your case with prospective surgeons and see who has an aesthetic eye that matches your sensibilities, and the experience to implement them.

Answer: Closed Scarless Rhinoplasty Scarless Rhinoplasty is absolutely the answer. This is the approach all celebrities, models and actresses take because there is no external cuts or scarring. The goal is to refine the nose, not drastically change the nose. By doing subtle refinements we are able to finesse the sculpt the nose to match your face perfectly. By doing this via a scarless (closed) approach, there are no external cuts ever on your nose. This prevents the dreaded complication of external scarring at the base of the nose, which even if rare, if it occurs, is devastating. Through a scarless approach you can accomplish almost everything needed to be done to the nose with no scarring, less healing time, less bruising, and less swelling. Do consult a board certified plastic surgeon who performscarless rhinoplasty as 100% of his/her surgical practice and do hundreds of these procedures a year. All the best!

Answer: Rhinoplasty - what would make my nose look better? Hello and thank you for your questions and pictures. Communication is the KEY and you have taken the first step. What I do for my patients is have them bring in pictures of noses they like and those they do not like. Both are important! This allows the first step in the communication pathway = allowing me to visualize your concept of what an attractive nose looks like. The next step is to have me do a computer imaging of what "I think" based on our communication, you want your nose to look like. I provide different versions of your expressed desires. Based on this process, you should have a good idea of what can be done and the vision of what your nose will look like after surgery. The link I provided you below will show you other patients that had similar concerns as you and their before and after pictures.

Answer: Rhinoplasty recommendations Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an in person examination (not just an online consultation) and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do and how technically to do it based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California
