Large noses run in my family but up until my mid-twenties I assumed I had escaped unscathed. Unfortunately this was not the case, and I feel that it now overshadows my other features and protrudes much too far out from my face. I have no qualms whatsoever with it from a front view, it’s only my side profile I am self conscious about, with the dorsal slope being far too high. Was wondering which (if any) form of procedure would be appropriate. UK based, 25 years old, 55kg, thank you!
Answer: What you should know about rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and photos. While suggesting an open or closed procedure would require an in-person examination, you appear to be a candidate for rhinoplasty to change your nose’s appearance. The dorsal slope can be redefined and the tip deprojected to create balance with the rest of your facial features and improve your side profile. Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring skill, experience, and artistry to produce the best possible result. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to answer any questions you have and help you decide on the best course of action. (Link/ Video: rhinoplasty)

Answer: Rhinoplasty may be considered for nasal deprojection. Depending upon your examination, if you feel like your nose sticks out too far from your face, rhinoplasty surgery techniques may be considered for Repositioning your nose closer to your face for a less distracting nasal appearance. Consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Answer: Reduction rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs. The characteristics of your nose and nasal skin make it suitable for a variety of techniques to be successful with a reduction in size whilst maintaining a slim appearance of the nose on the front view. My personal preference goes to ultrasonic rhinoplasty but it would be fair to say that preservation techniques or closed rhinoplasty standard an equally good chance of producing a balanced result. Another element for success is to determine what it is like to achieve as a final shape. Computer imaging and simulation can help with this evaluation.

Answer: Issue with the appearance of your nose You have pretty much won the lottery if large noses traditionally run in your family. The only thing that you could address is the small dorsal hump and perhaps a bit of tip refinement. I would not do anything to your nose other than those items from the photos that you have provided.

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case from the photos and information you provided. From the photos it looks like you have a dorsal hump and the tip is starting to be droopy. With time, there are risks that the tip drops more. The nostrils are too close (from the front). I recommend you a rhinoplasty surgery to get a more elegant, feminine and defined nose shape.Regarding the techniques, each surgeon have their own methods and techniques for a surgery. But it always depend on the patient. As a surgeon we adapt ourselves to the patient's expectations and what can be done. Best regards!
