I have read measurements of 4-5mm, which seems enough for most noses, but mine is very large structurally, though straight and not oddly shaped (think Lionel Messi). I am wondering if a larger nose changes this measurement. Thanks
Hello, I'm finally in the stages of planning my rhinoplasty! I realized I want to keep at least a little bit of the bump on my nose, but I would also like to decrease the projection. Is there anyway to accomplish this? I have not seen any rhinoplasties like this done before with the doctor I'm planning, so would it be risky? The picture of old Kim k is exactly the side profile I want.
Goal is an attractive, natural nose that best fits my face without severely compromising the nose's structural integrity. A wonderful doctor proposed the following and I feel good. Just doing diligence. Would love to hear doctors' thoughts on plan/pics and if there is anything else you might recommend. -septoplasty for deviated septum -lower the bridge with correction of the hump, improved symmetry and smoothness of the bridge, and slight tip deprojection if feasible based on the skin thickness
I am one year post primary rhinoplasty. I am very happy with my front profile, however I feel my side profile is over projected. My surgeon has suggested a procedure under local anaesthetic called a medial crua reduction which they said could de-project 4mm. Is this possible and would it likely achieve my desired result as per the photo? Or would I need a full revision?
Hello, lots of patients with rhinoplasty experience as well as doctors mention that rhinoplasty can cause permanent changes in upper lip's length, shape or position. That is the result I am trying to avoid. If I do rhinoplasty with closed method or only deproject the upper part of my nose in order to remove hump(and not touch the base at all) will that risk be eliminated? In general, does closed method reduce that risk or is it the same as in case of open rhinoplasty? Thank you in advance.
I would really appreciate if anyone could explain to me, how open septo-rhinoplasty affects upper lip movement in smile? If before rhinoplasty upper lip flattens while smiling (becomes fuller from the front view and more deprojected from the side view) will the deprojection of the nose make it different? In case that surgeon removes caudal excess and nasal spine in overprojected nose. Thank you
I had rhinoplasty in Turkey on July 11th - iI asked my surgeon to raise Philtrum, refine tip, narrow nostrils and de-project. All of which he said was possible. I did NOT want him to up-turn the tip. I know its normally done and will drop after healing but 6/7 months on, it still looks upturned and projected, just with a much lower bridge. I look wider and less defined from the front now than it did before. Photos attached before/ expectations / after for reference
One of older surgeons in NYC who is trained only in closed approach said it's possible to achieve desired results with closed approach while two other younger surgeons said it's not possible. I really need help selecting a surgeon. Please see attached pic. This is what I expect from my Rhino- 1) Deprojected tip/ reduced length 2) Tip upward rotated 3) Radix taken in and positioned right 4) reduce width/ aesthetic dorsal lines 5) Supratip break 6) Apt Naso- labial angle
