Nose shape - would I be a good candidate for rhinoplasty?

Generally, an examination is necessary to determine somebody's candidacy for rhinoplasty. If you want to get an idea of what might be possible, you would need to re-ask your question with photographs and describe what you don't like and what you are looking to achieve. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question. Though it’s difficult to assess your rhinoplasty candidacy without photos, it is possible for patients with a button nose to benefit from rhinoplasty. This type of nose is generally small and rounded and has an up-turned or down-turned tip. During rhinoplasty, the tip can be defined and the overall shape altered to complement the rest of your facial features. If your nose appears smaller than you’d like, you may benefit from dermal fillers to increase its size and width.
Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to answer any questions you have and determine the best approach for you.

Hi @Randi234! 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. I utilize piezo surgery in my practice. Piezo surgery 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!

In person exam is essential. Without posted photos - it's difficult to comment accurately. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS preferably who specializes in closed technique and who has a wide gallery of before and after photos

First of all, thanks for your question. In order to understand whether you are a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty, we first need to evaluate your facial photos. Then, it would be appropriate to clarify your situation by making an online interview. I wish you an amazing day!

Hello! First of all thank you for your question.It is possible to combine lip lifting with rhinoplasty surgery but first I need to see some photos to be able to evaluate. Without photos, I cannot say if you are a good candidate or not.

Candidacy for rhinoplasty is broad. More important are your goals and the size, shape and function of the nose and lips now. Only a board certified facial plastic surgeon has the expertise and experience to know all of the intricacies of nasal function and aesthetics. My advice would be to see professional personalized consultation to discuss your concerns and goals. Hope this helps.

It's really difficult to say without pictures to go along with your concerns. Most people are considered good candidates as long as they are healthy and have reasonable expectations. Patients with conditions like body dysmorphic disorder may be healthy enough to undergo surgery, but it may not be in their best interest to do so as surgery doesn't help the underlying condition. Consult with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and discuss your desires in detail to see if they believe you are a good candidate for the changes you seek.

Depending of type of rhinoplasty (open vs. closed) these two procedures can be done together if indicated. In the case of open rhinoplasty, I would be inclined to do these two procedures separately. Good luck.

Hello. All your issues can be addressed to a well-executed rhinoplasty in the right hands. You can achieve the look you want with Rhinoplasty performed with piezo technique, which is the latest technology. Piezo technology can be used in open rhinoplasty surgeries. Rhinoplasty with the piezo technology will be able to protect your soft tissues and provide you maximal healing. You can visit the link below to get more information about Piezo technique. I would advice to to investigate your surgeons long term results. It is the best indicator to choose a good surgeon for you. While searching your surgeon, please be careful about whether all his results are similar with each other or not. Some surgeons replicate his results to all his patients. If you see the same noses on all of your surgeon's results, it is an indicator that he does not designs his results custom made. Unfortunately, most of the surgeons have similar results with each other and very rare of them, like me, performs custom made surgeries. One golden rule: Please do not have the surgery when you feel uncomfortable and have doubts with a surgeon who you feel hesitated about. The point you need to be careful while searching for the best surgeon is the time between the before and after photos of your surgeon. The after pictures should be at least 1 years after the operation. Early results and intraoperative comparison photos have no value. Secondly, please be sure that you have a good communication with your surgeon and he totally understands you. You can have more detailed information about me and ask questions about your case to my assistants from the number at my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your issues with me. Best regards.
