Insecure about the bump on my nose. (photo)

Question

I am really insecure about the (somewhat small?) bump on my nose. I have been considering surgery(either surgical or non-surgical, whatever is more suitable) for quite a while now. My ideal nose would be slightly curved, like a ski jump nose. Any advice?

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I would need to see better photographs from different angles as described on my website and the website of others. Look at before and after pictures of very experienced rhinoplasty surgeons for the best results and do not rely on imaging.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a conservative dorsal hump reduction.  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. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hi there. Thank you for the post. Bump removal is the most common goal in patients looking for nose reshaping surgery. In most situations, a surgical rhinoplasty will deliver the best result and most long-term solution - it also possible to feminise the nose in other ways (e.g. create tip elevation..'ski slope') through this approach. In some cases (e.g. small bumps), it may be possible to achieve a smooth side profile with fat grafting alone, which is much less invasive but also permanent (in contrast to fillers aka 'non-surgical rhinoplasty). Best to arrange a consultation with a fully accredited Plastic Surgeon who can discuss ll options in detail with you. Good luck!

Yes this is the most common operation that I undertake. You can try Non surgical methods but you ultimately will need subtle surgery to reduce the bump and get the result you really want.

Thank you for your question.  Surgery would be the most conventional and long-lasting way to correct the bump on your nose.  That said, a non-surgical option would be to use injectable fillers to camouflage the bump (i.e. juvaderm, radiesse, etc.).  That method has some drawbacks.  The result would not be permanent as the fillers will absorb with time and it may have the undesired affect of making your nose look a little bigger overall.
