Is it possible to make my tip go slightly upwards when I smile and to remove the somewhat hump in my nose? (Photo)

Based on your photo, you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. The bump can be taken down and the tip lifted in a way that still looks very natural. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert that does computer imaging at the same time for consultation.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos you have a droopy tip nose, but with a single operation, your nose tip can be raised and a nose that is compatible with your smile and facial features can be obtained higher when you smile.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Based on your profile photo, you appear to have a droopy tip, a long nasal appearance, and a very small profile hump. Issues like this are commonly addressed during rhinoplasty surgery, we are goals would be to provide a less distracting, and more feminine nasal profile appearance. I hope this helps, and thanks for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

You are an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. This will rotate the angle, increase it to 110 degrees, and get rid of the dorsal hump.

Best Wishes,

We decide what to do surgically to a nose based mostly on what it looks like with the face at rest, since that's how you spend most of your time. But this smiling appearance strongly suggests that when your face is at rest, you would still like to the the hump lowered and the tip elevated. And also, it appears that your nose is strong in its forward projection away from your face, so we'd want to move the tip and entire nose back closer to your face. These are all changes that are possible in a rhinoplasty.

How *much* to elevate the tip, or deproject the nose, or lower the bump, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.)

Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery.

Raising your nasal tip is commonly done when needed and pretty straightforward. However I see many revision rhinoplasties where this wasn’t done. Make sure your surgeon has a plan to raise the tip that makes sense.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers.. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Yes, rhinoplasty can lift the nasal tip slightly when you smile by adjusting the tip cartilage or modifying muscles. A nasal hump can also be smoothed with dorsal reduction. Consult a skilled surgeon to achieve natural, balanced results.

They closed rhinoplasty approach and accomplish lifting the tip statically, and preventing the tip from drooping down dynamically when smiling. The dorsal hump can also be removed, and your bridge line narrowed and the tip refined as necessary. All of the incisions are replaced on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required, and no painful packing is required either. Choose your rhinoplasty specialist wisely based on extensive experience producing natural results.
