I am of Arab descent and my nose is very boney. I have a hump but I ALSO have a very bulbous nose from cartilage. Can I even reduce it..?
Answer: Are you a good candidate for a Rhinoplasty? Are you a good candidate for a Rhinoplasty? Your nasal tip can be refined and the dorsal hump removed with a standard rhinoplasty. However if the skin of the tip is very thick the resultant tip will be modestly improved. Further definition however can be achieved postoperatively with steroid injection which will thin the skin and enhance the definition of the tip, depending on how much definition you are seeking.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for bulbous tip Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your two photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Dorsal hump reduction, tip deprojection, and tip elevation would also be helpful. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi, During a Rhinoplasty the nasal profile is changed according to the agreement between the patient and surgeon. The change includes bridge,tip, width and length. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Yes, your nose can be improved. Your dorsum is not straight and needs to be taken down. The nasal columella angle is at 90 degrees and it should be at 110 degrees. The tip needs to be refined as well. You would benefit from a rhinoplasty to correct all of these. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Excellent Candidate for Rhinoplasty! It appears that you are an excellent candidate for a primary rhinoplasty. The thickness of your skin, will determine the ultimate degree of refinement. However, a moderate refinement is likely to produce significant results for you. Dr. B.
