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.

While a “button” nose may not be possible, a button nose rhinoplasty can certainly reduce the size of your nose a significant amount. It’s important to seek out a board-certified surgeon who will not only reduce the size of your nose, but maintain its underlying structure during the process so that it will retain its shapes for many years to come.

Nose Big Enough for Rhinoplasty?

Many times I do rhinoplasties on patients whose noses are not big; if fact, they may be too small. It is difficult to evaluate your nose without a profile view but your tip can be reduced and refined. Consult with an experienced surgeon who can discuss your alternatives and clarify your goals.

Rhinoplasty for Button Nose

Button nose rhinoplasty surgery

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)

Surgery to correct button nose rhinoplasty

It depends. Can it be made smaller? Yes. But that’s not the most important question. The real issue is, ” is your nose bothering you enough that if it was smaller, would it improve your quality of life enough to make it worth it”.

The best next step would be to make an appointment with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who includes computer imaging as a part of the consultation. This way you will be able to see what actually can be done, which will go a long way towards helping you decide if a rhinoplasty will be worth it. (Michael R.
