There's : There's absolutely a way to get an idea of what you'd look like after having a rhinoplasty. Many facial plastic surgeons will perform digital morphing during your visit to simulate what changes can be made to your nose. I find this step to be very helpful when discussing many aspects of rhinoplasty surgery. Check out my link below where i discuss computer morphing in more detail (with example before and after photos).

Vectra 3d: Look for a surgeon that uses a 3-d simulation software to show you what you can look like after surgery. Its not always exact but it can give you an idea of what can be achieved.

Yes with morphing!: Yes, photo morphing is something that most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons offer as a teaching tool, to show you what results are possible. However, it is not exact and results will vary depending on the skill of the surgeon, so look at before/after photos as well. Good luck!

Computer Imaging: There are many rhinoplasty surgeons who will use computer software to shape or morph photographs so that the patient has a sense of what the surgeon is striving to achieve. This imaging works best for the profile views, but it can be performed to also show some other nasal modifications, like tip refinement. Talk to your facial plastic surgeon for a rhinoplasty consult.

Digital imaging: Computer imaging can be used to simulate changes in appearance after surgery. This is not a guarantee of the final appearance. It is extremely useful in ensuring that the patient and surgeon agree on a common surgical goal before surgery.

Computer imaging: Computer imaging is offered by some rhinoplasty surgeons, and can give you an idea of what your nose should look like after surgery. It is not an exact science but it can be helpful to gauge your expectations!
