I had 4 consults and have chose a Dr. to perform rhino in Aug. '16. Every Dr. said that their first priority would be to narrow the wide bridge bones and correct the flat spot in the middle of my bridge; also that my dorsal hump (hooked nose) could be corrected but that my nose wasn't really that overprojected, but that it could be deprojected 1-2mm. Really? When I look at my profile I just get depressed b/c it looks so huge. Can all these problems be fixed and does the tip need refinement?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. I completely agree with your assessment of your overly projected nasal tip: You may also benefit from de-projecting your nasal tip and a dorsal hump reduction. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: Deprojection, bridge and tip refinement After reviewing your photos, I believe that your nose would benefit from tip deprojection and refinement, bridge refinement and building up the area between your eyes, known as the radix. I recommend an in-office consultation with a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will thoroughly examine your nose, create a simulation based on what your nose could look like after surgery, and develop the perfect plan to achieve balance and symmetry.
