In addition to some nasal valve collapse when I breathe in hard (when I workout and run), I do not feel like my nose is complimentary/ harmonious with my face. My cosmetic concerns are: -lack of definition in the tip (and one side more droopy than the other) -width of my nose looks large from the front profile -asymmetry -small bump on ride side of my nose Had septoplasty in 2013, now looking for definition,symmetry and structure. Would rhinoplasty/plastic surgeon be able to address my issues?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Dear JillyH17, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from rhinoplasty. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Fine tuning the nose Thank you for your question. A Rhinoplasty could be a good option for you to refine your tip and dorsum and address than nasal valves. Your history of a septoplasty does add a bit of a variable, so I recommend seeking out a board-certified specialist who has extensive experience in Rhinoplasty. A full clinical exam will be necessary to definitively tell you what your options are. Working with your surgeon, it is very possible to achieve the results you’re looking for. Best of luck! Dr. E
