How Can I Get an Upturned Nose? (photo)

Question

I want a slightly upturned nose very badly please tell me several options of how i can achieve this is surgery necessary?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

I read your concerns and reviewed your photos:

	Your profile photo of your "desired after effect" shows an overrotated tip. I cannot discern the difference between the two profile photos you posted. In that regard, it may be best to consult with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists to see what might be best for you.

	Hope this helps you.

The pictures provided already show a slightly over-rotated tip.  In other words, having a procedure which would lead to a more "upturned nose" would produce an aesthetically unappealing look.  Any attempt to achieve this look would involve shortening the nose and rotating the tip further, which could be equated with a Rhinoplasty disaster.

Many thanks for sending in the photographs of your nose - you actually have a very aesthetic nose and I would not recommend surgery on it at all. This is particularly in relation to wanting it more upturned. This would result in a very unnatural appearance.

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

Personally, I do not think you should make your nose any more upturned than it is.  You will regret it.  Your nose is already quite upturned, and although you will easily be able to find a surgeon willing to operate on you, in my humble opinion making your nose even more upturned is a mistake.

David C. Mabrie, MD · Answer

I have to agree that your tip is probably as upturned as you would want it.  If you rotated it more, people would be forced to look directly into your nostrils. 

	 

	Aesthetic goals are very personal so you have to decide what's best for your face, but as a facial plastic surgeon, my opinion is your nose looks pretty nice and wouldn't look better if you made it more "upturned".

	 

	Good luck in your search for information!
