I've gotten fillers injected into my tear trough...

I've gotten fillers injected into my tear trough and cheeks before, but now I'm looking for something that's more long term. I'm obsessed with this certain look - high cheek bones paired with a perfect, sharp, defined nose. I've never had a problem with the bridge of my nose, but the tip is really prominent. I mean, Its really not that bad and Icould do a quick fix and use makeup, but I really don't have time to contour my nose everyday. When I went in for my consultation, I asked the doctor is tip rhinoplasty would work, he said no because he's afraid if he made the tip smaller without correcting the bridge , he's afraid it'll come out looking bigger than before. I'm not sure about what size malar implants I'll go with, but I'll probably go really large. I go in for a pre op on Monday and I'll go under the knife on Friday... I'm so excited.

Hey coming from someone who had a nose a bit like your before and has had rhino (in Feb), be careful of him scraping off TOO much of your bridge. I liked my bridge too and wanted a "sharper" tip and now my nose appears way too short from many angels and far too long from others...my bridge was too over sectioned and even though I'm only 5 months post I'm already looking into revision...so just a warning make sure to let him know you do NOT want much off your bridge cuz these surgeons go crazy with it sometimes when all you really wanted was a sharper tip. Good luck!

When you refer to scraping too much off the bridge, are you referring to a hump reduction?

No not a hump reduction. I never asked for a hump reduction and I didn't have a hump. I went in to get a sharper tip. Like Baileylove22, I had the same kind of convex/straight bridge. But the surgeon scooped out not only the top of the bridge but also the sides of my bridge while performing my surgery. So now, my bridge pretty is low, lower than I would like atleast. For instance, light will hit my tip and not my bridge at all in pictures, if that makes any sense.
