I’ve had two incidents with my nose. The first time, I hit my nose super hard on the ground which resulting me going to the ER. My nose had like red veins showing, and it was almost like a pig nose a while. And then the second time, I got hit with soccer ball directly in the nose. I have a deviated septum, and it feels like there’s not really much cartilage supporting my nose. I’m scared if I get a rhinoplasty my nose will just collapse and it will become worse.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from rhinoplasty with a columellar strut graft to add nasal tip support and a tip refining rhinoplasty. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon.

Answer: I have a very soft and squishy nose, almost like there’s no cartilage supporting it. Is a rhinoplasty a good idea? Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you whether you are an appropriate candidate for surgery and exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Answer: Nose support Thanks for your question. You have identified one of the key things we assess during physical examination for patients considering nasal surgery. To answer your question your doctor will need to examine you in person to feel and assess both your septal cartilage (if it's present), your tip support, find areas of deviation and nasal bone stability.
