I have a rhinoplasty scheduled in late September 2014 with Dr Vladmir Grigoryants. I'm excited and nervous. I like his work overall. A few of his post op noses are slightly too scooped and sculpted for my particular case. I want to keep the overall angle and shape of my nose, but I want to smooth out the awkward dorsal bump. I want it to be a straight line, not scooped out. I have angular features in my face so I want the nose to compliment those features. My tip is already lifted and a pretty good angle I think. I do think the nostrils show too much inside nose. Here are my pre op pics ( before surgery). I also did a app- edited picture next to my actual nose to show sorta what profile I like. The real/edited pics are the last two. Let me know what you think.

Good luck with your surgery. I don't see your photos. Looking forward to reading your updates.

I would like my dorsal hump to be smoothed off but not scooped out. I kept the angle, tip, and columella the same. Opinions?

I have to say that I think your nose right now is pretty great. Oddly, now that I've had my dorsal hump removed, I admire a small hump on others. I agree that if you have this done to keep it straight and not scooped. Make sure you and your surgeon are on the same page with this.
Good luck and please keep us posted!

I like the simulation of your nose. Looks perfect on your face. All the best.
An attentive doctor should be able to comply with your desires regarding the dorsal hump. Overall, nasal surgeons want a natural, non-surgical look as their results. Unfortunately, I cannot see your pre-op pictures, but what may help is a computer image session where the nasl shape can be altered on the computer, and you can pick the shape you like best. At those sessions, an experienced rhinoplastic surgeon will be able to tell if you have unrealistic expectations, or if he can satisfy your wishes.
