I’m considering having nose surgery to improve the appearance on my nose. I’d like something a bit more classical in ‘western beauty standards’. I’m wondering if I could get good results with a tipplasty and a light rasping of my bridge rather than going for a full rhinoplasty. My issues are a bulbous over projected tip with a small bridge hump. I may also have a deviated septum which you can see by the protrusion at the bottom right of my nostril. Is a closed operation also on the table?
Answer: Open tip rhinoplasty From the photo provided you would almost certainly need an open rhinoplasty to address the entire shape of the nose +/- septum (if this is actually deviated). A columella strut graft is probably needed to support the tip and control its position.

Answer: When a bump is removed, osteotomies are usually necessary. If you just have your dorsal bump removed from your nose, it would result in a wider nasal appearance. It's called an open roof deformity. This is why we nearly routinely perform osteotomies on patients who request hump reduction. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Is closed rhinoplasty appropriate for you? Is closed rhinoplasty appropriate for you? A closed rhinoplasty would be ideal for trimming the dorsal hump and refining the tip. If the septum is deviated a septoplasty can be performed along with the closed rhinoplasty. The rhinoplasty could also shorten what appears to be a slightly long nose and reduce slightly the projection making the overall nose smaller and more appealing.
