Is this a tension nose? (Photos)

Hello! Thank you for your question. From the photos you provided I can say that you have a serious hanging columella and dorsal hump. Also you might need external graft for your nostrils. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. During rhinoplasty, it is possible to narrow the nostrils and fix the drooping tip while not altering the rest of your nasal features. The septum can also be straightened to provide optimal function while creating a feminized result.
Since rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Working with someone who has expertise in rhinoplasty techniques is most likely to help you address your concerns and achieve the best results.

A tension-nose or tension-lip is when you have a prominent anterior nasal spine that blunts the angle between your nose and lip. In your case, this seems to be associated with a long nasal appearance, a hanging columella, and a dorsal hump. You also appear to have this nasal skin which may be prone to show irregularities after rhinoplasty, compared to thicker skin types. Please consult with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists. Thanks! Dr Joseph

Yes, this would be termed that in that with certain expressions the columella may appeared pulled. The correction is release of the muscles attached to the columella as well as reduction of the caudal septum and interdomal sutures to correct the relationship between the medial and lateral crura.

Yes that would be a tension nose. Your tip projects forward and it’s like pitching a tent on the tip of the nose. Correcting it is pretty basic fir an experienced surgeon. But you need a full rhinoplasty including raising the tip and lowering the bridge. I think this is best done as a closed rhinoplasty. The tendency for some surgeons with a nose like this is to leave it too long

I believe from what I can see you have a long septum angle and by having surgery to cut the caudal septum back, this may improve the long nasal apertures. You have a thin nose and I would not recommend touching the dorsum especially if the hum does not bother you

Hello. Thank you for your question. Normally, women's nostrils should be less visible. Your nostrils are almost 10-15mm big and the inside of your nose is visible. Your columella is also hanging.
The definition in the medical literature of your nose wings and the tip of your nose falling together when you laugh is the Japanese greeting. I introduced this term to the medical literature and I know the solution best. What needs to be done to your nose is to reduce your nostrils, correct the deviation, support your columella and fix the falling nose. Contact us for more details.
