Button nose rhinoplasty

The nose is wide and it can be corrected by alarplasty. This is an easy procedure. You have to look closely at your nose and see if it is only the width of the nostrils that bothers you or the size of the tip as well.

If you want both the tip to be made smaller and the width to be reduced then you need a rhinoplasty and it will improve the appearance. A button nose might sound good but it can appear too small and in appropriate for your face. Just ask for a natural looking nose when you discuss the options with your surgeon.

Rhinoplasty for Button Nose

Button nose rhinoplasty for your nose will make a visible difference in its shape but it is not realistic to expect that a button nose shape will result from the surgery. Your amount of nasal skin will not allow that to happen, thus your nose can not be made as small as you would like. You need to have computer imaging done with realistic results so you can determine if the changes that are possible are worth it to you. (Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD, Indianapolis Plastic Surgeon)
