Question

I’m 19 years old and wondering whether I really need a rhinoplasty or not. I get mixed feedback from others. Honest opinions appreciated — do you think I should go for it or not?

Alejandro Nogueira, MD · Answer

You are quite young and some mistakes can be made, so don't rush to surgery, do cool things down, explore surgeons, consider different technical proposals, etc. Take a long time before moving forwards, that's the first advice to a young patient.

Should you go ahead with the rhinoplasty, I'd say the main technical focus has to be on the tip, alae and surrounding annexes:
-undefined tip
-boxy tip with verticalized lateral cruras (aka parenthesis tip)
-alar rim retraction (ascension)
-oversized soft triangle
-if you wished so, slight filing down of the hump

It is a complex type of structure rhinoplasty, to reassure yourself the surgeon is experienced, skilled and talented.

In general, if people do not have severe dissatisfaction with their nasal appearances, for an extended. Of time, rhinoplasty surgery may lead to satisfaction in the postoperatively. All of our patients who request rhinoplasty surgery have deep dissatisfaction with their nasal appearances. If you're on the fence about it, I would recommend not moving forward.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question you have a low nose tip, your skin structure is thick, but this is not an obstacle for you to have an operation, the healing process may take up to 2 years compared to normal and thin skin. it is possible to achieve a more harmonious and elegant appearance to your face, for this I recommend you rhinoplasty operation.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Nobody needs Cosmetic Rhinoplasty . Having Cosmetic surgery - is a personal decision of a patient . If you desire to improve the Aesthetic appearance of your nose-then you should consult with an experienced Board Certified PS who will outlined the details of the procedure after initial exam is conducted . Based on limited photos - it appears that you may benefit from Cosmetic Rhinoplasty preferably performed through a closed technique ( no scar across columella )  . I suggest that you seek an experienced Rhinoplasty Surgeon with a wide gallery of before+after photos

Your dorsum is almost straight but has a little concavity and the tip is poorly defined and slightly widened.  You may benefit from a rhinoplasty.

Hello and thank you for your question. First and foremost, only seek rhinoplasty if you want to change your nose. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
