Am I an ideal candidate for septorhinoplasty? What changes would look nice for my nose? (photos)

Question

I'm a 27F who is looking to get a septorhinoplasty. I haven't given much thought to what I want to do besides eliminate the bump and raise the tip. I do think the front view of my nose is rather bulbous and undefined, but I suspect I may have thick skin, so I'm not sure how attainable changes would be. In terms of functional issues, I have a deviated septum and have dealt with chronic post nasal drip my entire adult life that I'm hoping can be improved with the septoplasty. Could it help?

Yes you are a good candidate for septorhinoplasty. You do not have thick skin as far as I can see from these pictures. Your hump can go away, you can have a better defined tip and septoplasty can be done at the same time.

Hi,
You would be a great candidate for a septorhinoplasty procedure. I agree with you with your desires to take down the dorsal hump as well as lift the tip. Tip refinement can also be performed at the same procedure. While aesthetics is important -the nose should also be functional ! Therefore, a septoplasty to correct the breathing can easily be performed with the rhinoplasty. Hope that helps.
