Goal is an attractive, natural nose that best fits my face without severely compromising the nose's structural integrity. A wonderful doctor proposed the following and I feel good. Just doing diligence. Would love to hear doctors' thoughts on plan/pics and if there is anything else you might recommend. -septoplasty for deviated septum -lower the bridge with correction of the hump, improved symmetry and smoothness of the bridge, and slight tip deprojection if feasible based on the skin thickness

Answer: The morphs are nice. I'd change them just a bit. More ... To my eye, the tip is still strong in its forward projection, and the 3/4 view shows a bridge stronger than I would leave it. But it's certainly an improvement. The surgical drawings: they are proposed changes, right? I probably wouldn't use the spreader grafts or the columellar strut graft that are pictured. I personally only rarely use those grafts, but I know many surgeons do.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. You should be able to have an excellent result. Best wishes to you.
