I am afraid that it will be too small ,or it will not be ok for my face shape and will make my face look even worse than before. Is my anxiety logical?
Answer: Anxiety regarding surgery Having a rhinoplasty is a big decision that most patients have contemplated for years prior to proceeding with surgery. There are a few important factors. The first is surgeon selection - I would recommend that you seek consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with a lot of experience. They should have a website with many before and afters. Another important component is the consultation. I prefer to use imaging software so that I can make changes to the patient's nose and arrive at an agreed-upon surgical plan. The third is setting appropriate expectations about what can be obtained. I hope this was helpful - best of luck!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Surgery Thank you for your question and photo. You are a great Candidate for Rhinoplasty, surgical instruments known as rasps and osteotomies (hammer and chisel) are used to reshape the nasal bones by removing the hump and/or narrowing the nasal bone width. These tools are relatively imprecise and their use can lead to contour irregularities, etc. if not used in the proper manner. Recently, a technology that uses sound waves has been developed to contour nasal bones in a precise and far less traumatic way when compared to traditional techniques. Ultrasonic, or Piezo, Rhinoplasty is now the most advanced technology available for minimally traumatic nasal bone reshaping and hump removal during Rhinoplasty. There will be hardly any bruising and swelling which will make the recovery period a lot easier for the patient.

Answer: Rhinoplasty It’s worth going on a few consults to see what each surgeon will do. Many patients have the fear that their nose will be too small but it seldom occurs because most surgeons are quite conservative in their approach.

Answer: Nose Job Hello, thanks for your question and photo. Little nose, upturned tip, and narrow nostrils are not the only outcome from Rhinoplasty. You can get a real nose that fits in your face and fills your expectations. Discuss your goals and concerns with your plastic surgeon, and decide the size and shape that you want. Take your time and go to the operating room when you are confident about the results. Good luck!
