Can I show a doctor a picture of a nose that I like ? And will they do the exact same one?

Thank you very much for your question. You may bring in a photo of a nose you find attractive as a communication tool with your surgeon.   In many offices like ours, the use of 3D imaging software such as VECTRA photos are used to help patients and the physician work together to create the desired look for the nose after a surgical procedure. In your formal consult, your surgeon will be looking at all of your facial features to give you their best recommendations for what will work best with your unique facial properties and individual skin thickness of your nose.

It's great to bring a picture of the nose you like.  A comprehensive consultation will allow the doctor to tell you what is possible and what is not possible.  Many factor's come into play when trying to duplicate a nose.  Since you don't show any pictures of what you would be seeking, it's impossible to answer that here, but bringing pictures is always a good idea.  Good luck!

Dear sphewitt20When it comes to communicating with your doctor, using pictures and digital imaging are immensely helpful to make sure your doctor and you are on the same page and fully understand each other as far as your desired nose. Your surgeon can then share what he or she can do for your nose to approach the shape that you want. It is also helpful to see why the nose you want fits or does not fit your face.
