Dec 24, 2020
The photographs demonstrate an overly projecting nose, and an under projecting chin. The under projection of the chin make your nose look bigger than it really is. Strongly consider placement of a chin implant to augment the chin forward for better facial balance and proportions, especially with respect to the side profile projection of your nose. The nose can be de-projected with a rhinoplasty only a few millimeters. The chin can be augmented forward more than the nose could be…

Do I have alar retraction?
Dec 24, 2020
Dec 24, 2020
You have both alar retraction and hanging columella. A columella-plasty is required to reduce the excess cartilage and skin hanging down below your nostril rim. This will also help camouflage the obvious open rhinoplasty incision scar. Composite skin/ cartilage grafts harvested from the ear are going to be required to reduce the alar retraction. This revision rhinoplasty procedure can be accomplished with a closed rhinoplasty approach which avoids the visible external scar across the…

A full set of facial photographs from all angles of your nose are going to be required to make a determination about how best to proceed. Digital computer imaging of your nose upon your facial features can give you an idea what can AND cannot be accomplished with a rhinoplasty. Thick skin in the tip of the nose is going to prevent confinement in that area, so it is important have realistic expectations.

Dec 23, 2020
Yes, a closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, lifting the nasal tip, and reducing the hanging columella with all incisions placed on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required and no painful packing is required. It is also important to release the depressor septi ligament which also pulls the nasal tip down dynamically when smiling.
Is there a surgery to lift the nose tip as I think my drooping nose is making it hard to breathe?
Closed Rhinoplasty to lift the tip
Dec 20, 2020
Dec 20, 2020
If you are having breathing problems, a thorough internal examination of the nose is going to be required to make a determination about what is causing the breathing difficulty. There are many issues on the inside of the nose that can cause nasal obstruction which include a deviated nasal septum, turbinate hypertrophy, valve collapse, allergies and chronic sinusitis. A cosmetic closed rhinoplasty can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, narrowing the bridge line, and refining the nasal…
