Question

Hello Iam a 22 year old woman 1.68 m long and I have a question. Im going to do rhinoplasty but I don’t know what kind of words I need to use during the consultation. I mean I think I have a high radix and I want a slope in my nose because I have a hump. My nasal tip is also droopy and I want it straight. But I want to know what needs to be done with my nose. I also have wide nasal bones , they stick out. I want a doctor to tell me what needs to happen to my nose to achieve these results.

It is always best to communicate your concerns (what you do not like) about your nose in your own words. It is also necessary to give information if you have difficulties with breathing or any other functional problem with your nose. Answer all questions in a simple words and do not hold any relevant information regarding your health condition from your surgeon. Good luck.

Michelle Hardaway, MD · Answer

During your rhinoplasty consultation, tell your plastic surgeon what your goals are.  Your description of what  you  would like to achieve is adequate for your plastic surgeon to explain the procedure and how is is performed.  Computer imaging can give you an idea of what the result would look like.

Thank you for your question. The most important part of rhinoplasty is finding a surgeon that specializes in the procedure. At our practice, we use imaging software to show you how your nose would look with the proposed changes. This ensures we are on the same page about your goals. I recommend consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation. Best of luck!

The surgeon will probably ask you what you don't like about your nose and from your question it's pretty clear you have analyzed things properly. The surgeon will fill in the details fir you
