What Would You Suggest for my Nose to Refine the Tip? (photo)

taylor12Jan 14, 2012
Hello, I was wondering if there was such a procedure that, for lack of better terminology, sucks the fat cells out of the sides of the nose? Nose liposuction..nose tip refinement,or non-surgical procedure? When I am not smiling my nose looks fine, it's mainly when I smile that I start to get insecure. What do you suggest? I would love to enjoy smiling big for photos, instead of dreading it. Also, I would like to know how much it would cost? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

Persistent, but temporary, swelling may be present 7 months after rhinoplasty. Naturally, swelling will limit skin movement. Hopefully, you will get your "crinkle" back.

A rocker deformity refers to a movable bone segment, and your problem is with a ridge or bone edge along the left bridge. If visible, or uncomfortable, your surgeon should be able to smooth it out after six months or more. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Long nostrils are usually due to having a long nasal tip. Surgery can be done to improve this, of course, but the exact technique(s) used vary depending on your specific anatomy. Visit with a surgeon board certified to do rhinoplasty to find out what your options are. In the meantime...

Increased scar tissue that build up over the nasal cartilages just above the tip making the tip appear thick and wider after a Rhinoplasty.  Thick, oily skin is the most prone.
