Yes you can have a reined tip, narrower natural nostrils etc. I need to see more and better photos to give you a definite answer to what you need in detail. My website and others shows what photos are needed. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whose work looks natural and not overdone.
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on yourphotograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon canaccomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in yourlower nose. You may also benefit from decreasing the width of your alar base. Make sure you specifically look at before and afterpictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeonand not just a computer animation system. The most importantaspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seekconsultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluateyou in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
You are a candidate to discuss the process and expectations of a tip reshaping procedure to narrow your tip. I recommend consulting with a board certified facial plastic/plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
Dear Butilove inUkiah: Naomi Campbell has an attractive nose for her face but it wouldnot necessarily work well on yours. Ifthe bones are too wide and the tip is too plump, then considerrhinoplasty. Consultations will beimportant for you. Be sure to havecomputer imaging to see the predicted results. When checking out the various physicians who you areconsidering, look for a high degree of specialization, long experience, and ahuge photo gallery demonstrating a variety of outcomes. Whatever homework you do up front will payoff. Best wishes, Robert Kotler, MD, FACS Over 4,500 nasal procedures performed
It is impossible to give someone a celebrity nose. Rhinoplasty is a 3-dimensional operation, therefore a full set of patient photographs are required to make a determination about what can be accomplished with your nose on your facial features. Digital computer imaging also be helpful in the communication process. For more information and many examples of narrowing a wide nose, please see the link and the video below
Rather than tryingto look like someone else, it is important understand what can and cannotbe accomplished with your nose in order to be in harmony with your otherfacial features.Every nose isdifferent and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your noseconcerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a naturalartistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exactprocedure would depend on an in person examination (not just an onlineconsultation) and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results canbe achieved with either a closed or open technique.Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other websitewho proposes to tell you exactly what to do and how technically to doit based on 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 interest. 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 with extensive rhinoplastyexperience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who isideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with thatsurgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla, California
Thank you. Your nose can be narrowed by a rhinoplasty. To know exactly how much and other details, you will need a consultation in person with a rhinoplasty surgeon. Skin thickness makes a big difference so it must be examined. Best wishes
Typically, one can expect less swelling from "shaving down" the nasal bones as compared to "breaking the nasal bones" (osteotomies). You should still expect tip swelling from the open approach. Good luck
It depends on several factors-skin thickness, how much work was done on the radix-either decreasing it, or augmenting it. Since the skin on that part of the nose is thinner, as compared to the rest of the nose, swelling should resolve faster than the tip.
Hello,There is no data to suggest that icing has any effect after a few days after surgery. Best of luck!
