Hi I have always hated my nose, how it projects when I smile and how large the tip of my nose is. I really am considering getting one for a while now but I want to make sure I am a good candidate. Thank you!!
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi @Bellarose2025! I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination. A rhinoplasty in my opinion is one of the most difficult procedures to perform. In my practice, I utilize piezosurgery. Piezosurgery is a more gentle technique that allows for greater precision. Less bruising and swelling is common with Piezosurgery. In a typical rhinoplasty, a hammer and chisel technique is performed leading to more inadvertent fractures. Best of Luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Candidacy Good Afternoon! Thanks for your questions. You are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. For the front view, you could refine the tip and narrow the middle third and bridge. You have a great profile so I wouldn't recommend drastic changes there. The approaches are open vs closed and it's the surgeon's preference (I prefer the prior). If you're interested in rhinoplasty, find a facial plastic surgeon with experience in rhinoplasty and the ability to morph your photos in clinic to a desired outcome. Best of luck!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Candidate Thank you for your excellent photos, which allow me to assess your whole face from straight on and in profile. Based on the photos, it appears you would be an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty, although of course you would need to be seen in person to be sure. You have excellent bone structure and lovely features but I do agree that your nose is not as harmonious as it could be. The bridge is wide; the tip is bulbous, and the size is a bit disproportionate. Rhinoplasty is one of my favorite surgeries to perform, because the results can be life changing! I would likely file your nasal bones to reduce the width, and trip the cartilaginous elements to create a more feminine tip. In my practice, I focus on creating very natural results, and while your skin appears to be slightly thick, much improvement could be achieved. I recommend you consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns to see if rhinoplasty surgery is right for you. It is always a good idea to bring pictures of noses you admire to help express your goals and expectations during your consultation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to Improve Nose Appearance Thank you for your question! Rhinoplasty or "nose job" procedures can help shape, define, and modify the nose's appearance. Per your images and descriptions, your concerns could be improved with this procedure. It is possible to achieve the features you are wanting to improve and even assist with the nose base retracting when smiling which can make the appearance of the tip seem to project or droop down depending on the patient. There are multiple areas of the nose both internal and external that all work in conjunction for the overall appearance. It is important to find a provider who is qualified and knowledgeable in these procedures to ensure best results. Your physician should do a full facial evaluation, understand your goals, and provide the best treatment plan to get to your desired results.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to change nasal shape... Based on the photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The tip can be made thinner as can the rest of your nose. This can be done while giving better support to the tip and keeping everything looking natural. Be sure to see a rhinolasty specialist for consultation.
