What nose refinements do I need and what is the price range for those changes? I understand that skimping on an experienced surgeon is a bad idea. Rather I'd like to know an estimate before consult (if possible).
Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery for a narrower nasal appearance. Based on your photos, you appear to have a relatively broad and flat and wide nasal appearance, with nostril asymmetry and a retracted columella. Depending on your examination, rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving narrowing and straightening of your bridge tip and nostrils on front view, along with profile refinements. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you can see what to expect after surgery. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi , During a rhinoplasty multiple aspects are addressed to enhance the profile including bridge, width, length and nasal tip. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

Answer: What could a rhinoplasty do for you? What could a rhinoplasty do for you? based on the views that you show, you appear to have a wide or “bulbous“ nasal tip, a wide bridge, a wide nostril base, and perhaps a retruded columella. The wide bridge tip and nostrils could be addressed with a standard rhinoplasty including alar plasty. and if the retruded columella were to be addressed, this would require harvesting septal cartilage to be used as a graft to project the columella a couple of millimeters downward. Adding this to the standard rhinoplasty will make the procedure somewhat longer and more expensive. You will find that price varies dramatically from one surgeon to the next. You will generally find that prices are higher for surgeons who specialize in doing only nasal surgery. Most patients find that the more expensive cost is well worth it, since rhinoplasty has evolved into a specialty unto itself, and requires a great deal of experience, particularly with ethnic noses. Your skin on the tip of the nose does appear rather thick,, And may need follow up Cortizone injections to reduce swelling, scar tissue, and refine the skin to produce more definition in the tip area.

Answer: Rhinoplasty You have two options. One simple option would be t just narrow the nostrils which takes less than an hour under local anesthesia. If you want your entire nose narrowed a full rhinoplasty including breaking the bones to narrow them would be required
