Rhinoplasty for hump removal and nose reduction. The tip can be refined at the same time but I need to see better photographs. Face forward and profile photos are preferred.
The tip and dorsum can be refined through a closed rhinoplasty approach without a visible scar to produce a natural result. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
A rhinoplasty procedure would involve reduction of the dorsal projection and nasal hump. This is accomplished by shaving down both bone and cartilage and narrowing the bridge with medial and lateral osteotomies. Also important make tip adjustments and release the depressor septi ligament, if present, to prevent the tip from drooping upon smiling.
A large nose can berealistically cosmetically reduced and improved with a rhinoplasty.Keep in mind that following advice from asurgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what todo based on limited two dimensional photos without examining you, physicallyfeeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medicalhistory and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would notbe in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to be individualizedand what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someoneelse. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Boardof American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The AmericanSociety for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon(otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discussyour concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla, California
Obviously a examination by an experienced Plastic Surgeon would be required but from looking at your profile I would suggest the following:I would prefer an open technique. it gives me better control and I find that using this approach gives me a better chance of reducing the underlying framework and giving a well contoured resultHump removal, Length shortening and bridge reduction would be the goal. Good Luck.
Yes, you are a candidate for a rhinoplasty surgery to refine the size and projection of your nose. This can be performed through a closed rhinoplasty. There will be no incision on the outside of your face.
Based on your photo, you appear to be an excellent candidate for Rhinoplasty surgery. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who is very experienced in Rhinoplasty surgery. During the exam, discuss your options, concerns, and expectations with your surgeon.
Reducing the size of your nose is definitely possible through nose surgery or a rhinoplasty. A face to face consultation with your local plastic surgeons to discuss your specific goals is the best way to meet your expectations with surgery. Online recommendations with limited views of your nose is not the ideal way to determine the optimal approach to achieving your goals. Thank you for sharing your question.
