The rhinoplasty procedure can address making a large nose smaller. Closed rhinoplasty techniques can address straightening the nose, de-projecting the length of the nose, and reducing the dorsal hump. There is also a weak chin profile present, and a chin implant would help improve facial balance and proportions.
Dear herewego1,From your clinical posts and photographs it does appear thatyou have a nose that dominates your appearance both in profile and from thefrontal view. A reduction rhinoplastywith modification of the bump on the bridge, a slight reduction in length andtip projection will create much more harmonious nose and face balance. Although your chin appears quite small inrelation to the nose I’ve always found it quite interesting how reductionrhinoplasty greatly improves chin projection. A chin implantation could be considered at the time of reductionrhinoplasty, but quite frequently patients decide with the reductionrhinoplasty they’re quite happy with their chin and an elective chinaugmentation can always be performed as a secondary procedure under localanesthesia.Most importantly, I would seek out a plastic surgeon withlots of rhinoplasty experience. I’vebeen performing rhinoplasties for over 20 years having trained in both plasticsurgery and ear, nose, throat, head and neck oncology. A complete consultation should include acomputer digital imaging with simulated surgery so you could see the changes inyour nasal profile appearance and how it affects your facial aesthetics. This will help you decide the kind and amountof reduction that appeals most to you.I hope this information has been of some assistance and formore information, please review the link below.R.
