Even if my nose was almost the optimal size, I want to look the best I can. I am getting a septoplasty for medical reasons, (permanent swelling in my sinuses) but that probably wont change the size of my nose despite making it straighter. What I want to know is if a slightly smaller or thinner nose would scale with my small mouth and average sized eyes better.
Answer: Smaller nose or thinner nostrils? Dear 13almw, Thank you for your clinical post and photograph. Although difficult to tell from a single photograph and view you appear to have excellent craniofacial features and skeletal proportions and pretty eyes, nice jawline and lips. Although it’s easy to be critical and overly obsessive over facial proportion and ideal nasofacial balance, the nose itself might be a little wide up on the top of the bridge called the rhinion and the tip itself may be slightly bulbous or boxy. With a slight refinement and narrowing of the width of the broad portion of the upper part of the nose and refinement of the nasal tip and nostril balancing your nasofacial features and proportions may be optimized. In essence like many plastic surgery patients you look good and are looking to look a little “better.” While in certain circumstances this degree of detail can be helpful. You don’t want to fall into the trap of taking the desire for perfection to unhealthy and obsessive levels. A good consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon using computer imaging can help you delineate whether subtle improvements of your nasal contour provide the type of nasofacial balance and proportion you’re looking for. I’ve been performing rhinoplasty for over 20 years and having trained in both ENT and plastic surgery. I like to ensure we improve form as well as function. I’m sure you’re going to get an excellent result and make the right decision for your facial contours and shape. To find out more, please visit the link below. R.
