it’s droopy and I don’t like the way it looks when I smile from the side profile, I wanted to try non surgical since it’s a lot inexpensive than an actual nose job but I want actual results. My nose also isn’t really centered if that makes sense, the first picture shows how it leans towards one side when I lay down. It does hurt sometimes. I want it to look as natural as possible and not to mention the fact that it’s reddish in the corner and I dislike its appearance
Answer: Rhinoplasty or non surgical rhinoplasty Dear Maddy133,In my opinion, I think you would be much happier with a surgical rhinoplasty. You will be able to straighten your nose, lift the tip, and make it look small and more refined. A non surgical rhinoplasty involves using fillers to hide your tiny bump and lift the tip a little. You can also use it to make your nose look more straight, but it will widen the nose just a little bit. When you are ready, please see a rhinoplasty specialist who does both types of procedures so you can see the pros and cons of each. Then you can make an educated decision and what would look best for your face.Best regards,Dr. Nima

Answer: Non surgical or surgical nose correction Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an in person examination (not just an online consultation) and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique. A "non-surgical nose job" will not improve the areas that concern you and will make your nose appear larger. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do and how technically to do it based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi,Non-surgical rhinoplasty works best and most effectively for patients with small humps on the bridge of their nose or for patients with thin skin with a slightly droopy nasal tip. In looking at your photos, you may benefit slightly from a non-surgical rhinoplasty, but I would consider surgery over non-surgical augmentation. A rhinoplasty (nose job) will straighten the nose, rotate and add definition and refinement to the tip. A consultation with a rhinoplasty expert will help clarify your options and answer all your questions.Best,

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. You are a better candidate for a surgical rhinoplasty. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly and a dorsal hump reduction. Spreader grafts can help improve the symmetry of your nose. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Formal rhinoplasty Based on these photos it doesn't look like you will have any benefit from non-surgical procedure regardless how inexpensive it may be. You have such a degree of "nose deformity" that can only be corrected with well planed surgery. It is better to save and do right procedure once you can afford it than do something that will not work at all. Good luck.
