Would I be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Check out the link I posted with this answer. That woman also had a projecting nose, and the top of her philtrum, before surgery, pulled up onto the bottom of her nose. Usually, when the tip is brought back closer to the face, that webbing or pull goes away. You can make that happen with anyone's nose: pull the tip out forward and see how the lip follows.

How *much* to de-project the tip, or adjust the nose's length, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.)

Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos I recommend rhinoplasty operation for a permanent and long-lasting solution, but you must have a detailed examination beforehand, if you have deviation, you should definitely have a rhinoplasty operation, it is important for your breath quality.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Yes, you would be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. Your nasal columella angle is about 145 degrees and it should be no more than 110 degrees. This can be corrected by using a septal graft to bring your tip down lower to change the angulation.

Best Wishes,
