What are my options regarding rhinoplasty? Would my nose be a good applicant for this surgery?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I have a long, bulbous, wide nose. It has a very unique shape. Is it possible to get an elegant (not cutesy) nose from my current one? A narrower bridge and smaller tip, as well as the sides next to my nostrils. When looking through before and after pictures, I have yet to find a nose that looks like mine, so I cannot see similar results. In your expert opinions, doctors, what would I realistically be able to expect from a rhinoplasty? Thank you!
A.You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. A properly performed rhinoplasty will result in an elegant nose that no longer distracts the focus on your face away from your eyes. Your nose can be deprojected and made proportionately smaller without creating a “cutesy” nose or a nose that looks like it had an obvious rhinoplasty. The key for you is making sure that your choose your rhinoplasty surgeon carefully after multiple consultations. Base your decision on the surgeons experience, knowledge, skill, and most importantly their natural artistic vision. A few top rhinoplasty surgeons whom I would recommend are Steven Pearlman, MD (NYC), Ari Hyman, MD (LA), Jamie Derosa (Boston),and Dean Toriumi (Chicago).Good luck and be well.
