Do I need a nose job? (Photos)

Question

I'm 24 year old, never had any procedure, my only problem is a slight hump on the top of my nose, it is small but I hate it. Is there any way it can be only rasped under local anesthesia without breaking my nose and having a big surgery? And as a plastic surgeon do you consider my nose to be nice looking or does it need work done ?and is my tip lifted or does it need lifting? I need your advice please

Just taping the bridge accomplishes very little in my opinion. Also I think your nose looks good. I wouldn’t touch it

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question the operation I will recommend to you will definitely be an open rhinoplasty operation under general anesthesia, both permanent result and it is possible for the surgeon to easily see and intervene in every area.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Based on your photos, it might be reasonable to start with an injectable filler procedure to camouflage your small dorsal hump. If you are looking for a permanent result, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered. Thank you so much for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

It is very likely, based on these photos, that you may be a candidate for reduction, rasping of small hump in local
Anesthesia. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty is recommended. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a rhinoplasty.   This should only be done under general anesthesia never under local anesthesia.  Cases performed under local have a very high rate of revision.   I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
