I'm thinking of doing it but I'm not sure of the cost. I want my nose completely changed. I just wish it wasn't so fat/swollen looking. I also want my side profile to look different. Do you think I need a lip lift as well?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. This can be designed to help the symmetry of your nose. I don't recommend a lip lift for you at this time. 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. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty I would advise a face to face consult with a plastic surgeon. Your nose is small and may potentially benefit from a bridge augmentation, and your tip may benefit from a tip-plasty - the extent of the surgery will vary with your desires and guided by a plastic surgeon skilled in rhinoplasty. Good luck
