Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty, and could it look natural? (photos)

Thank you for providing photos along with your question. It’s impossible to predict how much rhinoplasty would change the appearance of your face without seeing photos of your entire face. However, you do appear to have a wide bridge and bulbous nasal tip, which likely makes you a great candidate for rhinoplasty. If you’re interested in this procedure, I would schedule a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one who has long-term experience and training in performing all types of rhinoplasties.

Your nose lives in the middle of your face, and it should blend in, and breathe. Consider re-asking your question with full-face photos, and add a description of what you would like to achieve. Thank you. Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty, I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Dear nca11294,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

A full consultation would be required to know for sure. A good balance of function as well as shape is the ideal. I recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
