I have seen a few surgeons and all say that I need more done to my nose. One said I won't be happy with the results. I won't be happy with a whole new nose. I don't want to remove my hump entirely. I just want it shaved down on one side so I have more angles to work with because I am an actress. I do want the tip raised a little, so my profile won't be so harsh. BUT I still want my hump and a slightly less droopy tip. Is a partial rhino possible? Can I get both sides to look great?

Answer: Partial Rhinoplasty is Possible
Thank you for the pictures and the question. Setting aside definitions of "partial" and "complete" rhinoplasty, each and every nasal surgery that I perform is customized to the unique features, aesthetic goals, and functional issues of the individual patient. Filing down the bump partially, but not completely (and certainly without making a "scoop") is absolutely possible. The same is true with raising the tip slightly but not significantly. I recommend meeting with a number of surgeons to discuss your goals. The relationship you have with your doctor is extremely important. Best of luck!

Answer: Rhinoplasty
It is possible to make subtle improvements to your nose that can enhance your own natural features without having any major changes take place, and your goals regarding surgery appear reasonable. Computer imaging software where your photo is morphed is a great way to get an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. It also serves as a great communication tool between you and your prospective surgeon. I would recommend a consult with a board certified and experienced rhinoplasty specialist. He or she will be able to examine your nose in person and advise you. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
