I have a fairly prominent, long nose with a slight bump, large nostrils, deviated septum and large nose tip, that overhangs my top lip when I smile (which is my major concern) - what can be done to improve the appearance of my nose and smile?

Answer: Best procedure for your nose Hi Walkerwalk, based on your pictures it appears that you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty and septoplasty. Because of the slight asymmetry in your tip I would use an open approach to fully visualize the tip cartilages. Sometimes there is much more irregularity than shows on external appearance. I would remove the small bump on the bridge and maybe narrow the nasal bones. The tip would be elevated, shortening the nose and correcting the droop when you smile. Occasionally the muscle that pull the tip down may need to be cut. The tip will also be made smaller and the asymmetry corrected. The septum will also be straightened. The exact details should be discussed in as much detail as you want during your consultation.
