Do I have thick skin and does this make me a bad candidate for wanting a smaller up turned nose?

Thicker skin can complicate rhinoplasty surgery if you want a smaller nose
Jun 2, 2020

Hi RSMember5204,
Based on the images you provided, it appears that you have thick skin covering your nose. The thickness of your skin will directly affect your rhinoplasty because your surgeon needs to ensure that the structure of the nose can hold up the weight of the skin without collapsing.
To find out how this will affect your specific rhinoplasty, contact a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area.
Best of luck

What is the most effective way to enhance projection of the nose in a cleft rhinoplasty procedure?

A combination of tailored techniques is the most efficient approach
Jun 2, 2020

Hi Tallgirl809,
Rhinoplasty surgeries to repair cleft deformities are much more complex than conventional procedures. In many cases, the surgery requires a combination of techniques that give the nose more projection, including the rotation or folding of cartilage that helps elongate the nose.
Determining the best approach without images is impossible, so my recommendation is to visit a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area that has a proven track record of similar …

What makes my nose so noticeably different from the left/right profiles?

Procedures to restore symmetry
Jun 2, 2020

Hi Courtneyc213455,
It’s fairly common for patients to experience some degree of facial asymmetry, especially on the nose. In some cases, the discrepancy is quite noticeable, but based on the images you provided, the difference is not immediately obvious. You can explore different cosmetic solutions to address the problem, but I suggest visiting a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area to determine the best approach.

What rhinoplasty would be best for a nose that is wide throughout to make it narrower and more defined? (P

Defining the nose and making it narrower
Jun 2, 2020

Hi Calm551381,
After reviewing the images you provided, it seems like you’d be a great candidate for rhinoplasty. With this in mind, it’s only possible to determine the best approach with an in-person consultation. You may benefit from tip refinement as well as nasal bridge definition, but I would recommend consulting with a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area for more information.

I would like to refine the tip of my nose, any suggestions on how I can achieve a more rounded nose? (Phot

Techniques to achieve a rounded nose
Jun 2, 2020

Hi Sara40293,
Based on the images you provided, it seems like the cartilage on the tip of your nose is making it look wider. A nasal tip refinement rhinoplasty can help reshape the cartilage to make your nose look smaller while still providing enough support to prevent future problems.
It’s worth noting that tip refinement rhinoplasty surgery is complex for even the most experienced surgeon, so you need to find a board certified facial plastic surgeon with a proven track record of similar c…

Any ideas to improve the length of my philtrum and my overall nose?

Rhinoplasty and lip lift candidate
Apr 15, 2020

Hi Aryon,
After inspecting the images you provided, I think you are a candidate for rhinoplasty. A rhinoplasty can help improve tip refinement and reduce the size of the nasal bridge. With this in mind, it appears that you have thick skin on your nose, so it’s important to set realistic expectations with your surgeon. As for the lip lift, you may be able to achieve the results you want, but you have to find an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon with a proven track record o…

Do I have a deviated septum?

A deviated septum is best diagnosed with an in-person consultation
Apr 15, 2020

Hi Jeanie101,
Based on the images provided, I can confirm that your nostrils are uneven and a rhinoplasty procedure can help create a more symmetric appearance. However, in order to determine if you have a deviated septum, your best option is to schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will also be able to discuss the different options available and help you choose the best approach based on the goals you want to achieve.

Candidate for rhinoplasty or lip lift or both?

A combination of both may be a suitable alternative
Apr 15, 2020

Hi Sk1999,
From the pictures provided, it seems like you are a great candidate for a rhinoplasty focusing on tip refinement. Furthermore, it also appears like you would benefit from a lip lift as well. Both of these procedures can be combined and the incisions can be concealed, so there would be no visible scarring. That said, it’s difficult to assess your specific case with the images provided, so your best alternative is to consult with a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon t…

Which rhinoplasty best suits me?

Alar base reduction and tip refinement may be good alternatives
Apr 15, 2020

Hi Tgsal,
Thank you very much for the images you uploaded. It appears that you may benefit from a rhinoplasty focusing on tip refinement and alar base reduction. Both tip refinement and alar base reduction are challenging procedures, so it’s important to work with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon that has extensive experience and can share numerous before and after patient photos.

Can I get my nose smaller without it looking out of proportion to my face?

A rhinoplasty can be a great way to achieve your cosmetic goals
Apr 15, 2020

Hi Rollerskatesxo,
Based on the images you provided, you would be a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. During the procedure, your facial plastic surgeon can refine the tip of your nose and upturn it in order to improve its appearance. You may also be able to reduce the size of the bridge, although your surgeon will need to conduct a thorough examination beforehand. Finding a facial plastic surgery clinic that also offers 3D models of what the results can look like is also a great idea…

Sinus infection prior to surgery?

Ideally, you need to be healthy for your surgery, so consult with your surgeon for more information
Mar 15, 2020

Hi Seaweedpie,

As with other procedures, ideal rhinoplasty candidates should be completely healthy. Because the infection is located within the nasal cavity, your surgeon may decide to postpone the procedure until you take care of the infection. The infection itself should not affect the results, but it may cause complications during the procedure and during the recovery phase. Your best option is to consult with your facial plastic surgeon in order to make an informed decision.

Droopy bulbous nose. Are these results realistic and achievable?

The drooping tip may be corrected, but you need to consult with a plastic surgeon for more details
Mar 15, 2020

Hi Firewing,

The angle and size of the images you provided make it difficult to assess the complexity of the procedure. It does seem like you have a drooping tip, which may be corrected via rhinoplasty surgery. However, this is a complex procedure that requires a high level of expertise, so you need to work with a board-certified surgeon that has a proven track record. During your consultation, your surgeon will be able to determine the best approach to correcting your bulbous nose at …

Can pregnancy after rhinoplasty affect the result/shape of my nose?

Changes in the nose and face in general during pregnancy are temporary
Mar 15, 2020

Hi Woodr1km,

Facial swelling is considered a common occurrence during pregnancy, as many women report changes in their facial appearance during this time. However, this swelling does not affect the structural elements that give your nose its shape, size, and projection. The swelling usually recedes after giving birth, so these changes should not affect the results of your rhinoplasty.

You’ll be happy to hear that the procedure to correct a hanging columella is straightforward and has a high success rate. This can be performed on its own or as part of a more complex nose job.

You should see substantial improvements after rhinoplasty and perhaps a cheek procedure
Mar 15, 2020

Hi Jessl6,

Based on the images you provided, it seems like you would benefit greatly from rhinoplasty surgery. An experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon can reduce the hump on the nasal bridge and refine the bulbous tip. Furthermore, you can also combine rhinoplasty with cheek and chin implant surgery as well as other procedures to create a more contoured appearance. However, there are different elements that will affect the outcome so you need to consult with a facial …
