I am a male in my 20s. I believe my nose is overprojected and too convex/round (especially when I smile). I like the width from the front view and the general shape of the tip. What exactly would go into a rhinoplasty that deprojects a nose such as mine? Would it be a simple or complex precedure? How predictable is the outcome? I don't want any material changes, just a subtle reduction in overall size and a straightening of the dorsal part.

Answer: Male rhinoplasty for an over projecting nose If the appearance of your nose concerns you, it can be improved with an artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive male rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon(otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California
