honestly have been tolde am not very attractive with big nose? should i have major rhinoplasty or just bump shaved?

Question

How soon after a closed nose reduction should I wait before doing rhinoplasty? (broke my nose and want to remove bump on bridge of my nose).

Answer 1

Full Rhinoplasty: A large nose will require more than just a bump removal. When removing excess bone and cartilage from the nasal dorsum(bump area), this will cause changes in other areas of the nose. An experienced surgeon will recognize potential problems in tip support, width of the nose, and dorsal support. A detailed consultation is required before exact recommendations.

Answer 2

Your decision: Nasal features that bother you (only) can be addressed by hump reduction or shaving depending on extent of problem. If the size of the nose or the bump bothers you, see a couple of physicians who can provide help. Many use computer video imaging to offer you a chance to see what the changes of mild to major would look like on your face. Helps establish the treatment goals for both you and md.

Answer 3

1st get new friend: Unless you asked for that opinion. Impossible to say without seeing you. Also should see if cheekbones are relatively small making nose look big. A few moments w asps plastic surgeon will give answer.

Answer 4

CONSULTATION first: Get a consult to discuss all the options. Surgery may not be advised at all.

Answer 5

Get computer imaging: Computer imaging is a useful adjunct to the consultation to make such a decision.

Answer 6

If that opinion was : Was offered gratuitously, get new friend. Any asps or asaps surgeon should be able to advise you with or without computer imaging (which can give a false sense of what's possible). Cheek or chin augmentation may be recommended as well.

Answer 7

Need consultation: It's hard to say what level of rhinoplasty is best for you without seeing you. A lot depends on whether your tip could be refined. Also, if your nasal bones are wide it may be advisable to narrow the bones as well. http://www.rhinoplastyinseattle.com/rhinoplasty-treatments/hump-on-nose.

Answer 8

Shave vs Full Rhino: If you have a big nose, then it's probably not just the bump that is the problem. A large hump holds up the tip, something called a "tension nose". Reducing it causes the tip to fall, creating an unattractive, long appearance. See a board-certified surgeon that can help you decide through consultation, exam and photo imaging.

Answer 9

Depends: A nose can be reshaped by removing and/or adding cartilage material, silicone, bone, and suturing internal cartilaginous support to different shapes.

Answer 10

Bone & cartilamodify: Adding, removing reshaping bone and cartilage. Sometimes bone/ cartilage grafts brought in from other donor site.

Answer 11

Reshaping the nose: Very interesting question. There are two ways to gain access to the nose, from the inside or from an incision on the outiside. Once access is gained there are only 5 structures you can shape: bone, upper lateral cartilages, lower lateral cartilages, septum and skin. The surgeon manipulates these structures to improve the three dimensional relationships of the nose. This is what i love about it.

Answer 12

Many options!: Depending on the specific shape of the nose and location of the problem, there are three basic options for changing the nose's shape. 1. The native bone or cartilage can be repositioned and reshaped. 2. Grafts of native tissue can be used to augment or suport the existing nose. 3. Artificial grafts/materials can be used if native grafts are not appropriate/available.

Answer 13

Nose reshaping: A rhinoplasty is a complicated surgery with many parts. You have to consider the framework (bone, cartilage, ligaments, septum) and the skin and soft tissue. In general, small changes lead to dramatic effects. The artistry involves shaping the nose that is right for every individual patient and accomplishes the surgeon's and patient's mutual goals.

Answer 14

Shape the support: The key is to alter the underlying support for the skin. Shaping the cartilaginous and/or boney framework changes the contour of the overlying skin.

Answer 15

Nasal reshaping: Nose reshaping is accomplished via a variety of techniques that essentially address the cartilage and use sutures, cartilage grafts or incisions or rearrangement in order to accomplish tip alterations. The nasal bridge is partially made of bone and bone reshaping can be achieved with a saw, chisel, burr, rasp, etc.

Answer 16

Depends on problem: Rhinoplasty is a fun and fascinating surgery. The technique for shaping depends entirely on what part of the nose needs changing and how you desire it to look afterwards. Cartilage can be added, removed, or reshaped. Bone can also be removed or reshaped, and grafts can be added to augment the bony nose if needed. Seek a experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for recommendations specific to you.

Answer 17

Changes under skin: Changes in the cartilage and bones under the skin are what changes the shape and function of the nose after rhinoplasty.

Answer 18

Contouring: Re-shaping the nose during rhinoplasty may involve removing tissue from the dorsum (top) of the nose, narrowing the nose (often requires a controlled surgical fracture of the nasal bones), re-shaping the tip (via manipulation of the cartilage structures in this area), narrowing the base of the nose or adding tissue (e.g. Cartilage) to different areas to enhance the shape.

Answer 19

Rhinoplasty surgery: The nose is reshaped through careful cartilage repositioning, cartilage removal, bone repositioning and reducing the bone at the top of the nose. Techniques vary from surgeon to surgeon so look at before and after pictures to get a good idea of what you like.

Answer 20

Individual specific: Every nose is different, and each patient's wishes are different. The nose is initially assessed and the areas of concern are noted and discussed. Both bone and cartilage can be addressed with removal, augmentation, or reshaping/remodeling. Specific techniques are used for different desired changes. The most important thing to ensuring a successful surgery is to have reasonable expectations.

Answer 21

Usually: Depending on the needs of the rhinoplasty the nasal bones may have to be narrowed ie. Bones will be fractured enabling the surgeon to decrease the width of the nasal bridge.

Answer 22

Yes and/or no!: During a complete rhinoplasty which changes the outward shape of the nose, the bones are broken and shaved to give a better shape. When small changes are needed just shaving can be performed and the bones are not fractured. Most patients recovered over the same period of time, 7-10days, whether the bones are broken or not! work with your surgeon to determine what is best for you.

Answer 23

Depends: If only a tip rhinoplasty is performed there is no need to break the bones and in the. Ase of bery small humps, they can be rasped withou the need for bone cuts in thicker skinned individuals.

Answer 24

Maybe: Your surgeon should be able to tell you what they plan on doing before the operation. A wide nose, a twisted nose, or a nose with a large hump all frequently require osteotomies (controlled fracture) of the nasal bones. If your rhinoplasty is only to treat the tip appearance or improve breathing, it may not be necessary. Regardless, it doesn't worsen recovery, and does allow a better outcome.

Answer 25

Rhinoplasty Info: The upper third of your nose is supported by bone while the rest is supported by a framework of cartilage. If the aesthetic correction of your nose requires some reshaping of the bony framework, this can be accomplished by either shaving or cutting the bone. Any breaks or "osteotomies" as they are called, will be performed in a precise, controlled fashion.

Answer 26

Sometimes: Rhinoplasty surgery can be done on the cartilage portions of the nose like the tip of the nose or on the bridge of the nose which has bone and cartilage, sometimes both. If it is only reshaping the tip of the nose then it will not need to be "broken". If the bridge is straightened or changed then the bone will be carefully fractured to reposition it.

Answer 27

Sometimes: During rhinoplasty sometimes the bones have to be cut with a fine chisel to reshape the bones.

Answer 28

Breaking The Nose: The surgeon will sometimes break the nose during rhinoplasty, but it depends on your anatomy and the specific surgical treatment. You can find more information on rhinoplasty here: http://www.Facialplastics.Info/rhinoplasty.Html.

Answer 29

Yes: Rhinoplasty or nose contouring enables various enhancements to nasal tip - e.g. Increasing or reducing tip projection, reducing tip width, improving tip definition or symmetry as well as rotation of tip up or down. The tip tends to settle or rotate down after rhinoplasty so surgeons do what they can to minimize this and preserve the cosmetic result.

Answer 30

Yes: It is a very common request to rotate the nose upward in rhinoplasty. By changing the tip cartilage the surgeon can rotate the nose. In some cases the rotation will also improve breathing.

Answer 31

Upturned nose: Yes. A rhinoplasty can rotate (upturn) the nasal tip if desired. The amount of rotation needed is based no many factors: size of nose, height, ethnicity, sex and personal desires among other things.

Answer 32

Yes: Ideally, patient and surgeon agree on an aesthetic to help determine the best possible otucome for the nose.

Answer 33

Yes: Rhinoplasty is an operation which can reshape the nose which is deformed due to trauma or congenital problems. The nose can be manipulated to rotate the tip up or down. If necessary the nose can be straightened, narrowed, etc. Your rhinoplasty surgeon will discuss his plan for your nose to make sure you get the results you desire.

Answer 34

Yes: Rotating the tip up or down is a common aim of rhinoplasty.

Answer 35

Yes: Rhinoplasty can change the nasolabial angle (make it up-turned or down-turned). You should discuss your aesthetic goals very carefully with your surgeon preoperatively to understand what can and cannot be done.

Answer 36

Yes: Rhinoplasty can cause a nose to become upturned. If this is your goal you can discus this with your plastic surgeon. If this is your fear, be sure to express this in your consultation.

Answer 37

Yes: Various modifications to the nasal structure can cause the nose to be upturned or what we refer to as rotated. This is sometimes done intentionally or can be the result of surgery whether good or bad.

Answer 38

Nasal tip asymmetry: There is almost certainly something which can be done to address the issue. Talk your local experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. Depending on the exact problem you may be a candidate for an office injectable treatment. Sometimes a revision surgery is needed. The options also change depending on how long ago the surgery was performed. Good luck.

Answer 39

Depends: If you are within the first year after surgery go see your surgeon. If later and it bothers you get a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon.

Answer 40

Rhinoplasty: Dear _pooh5, if you are less than 6 months out from surgery, you should wait to see if it improves if it has been longer, then something can be done, just visit your surgeon for more answers. Best, nima shemirani.

Answer 41

Rhino post-op: After rhinoplasty, the nose continues to change and heal for a year, and even up to 2 years in some patients. There is not much you can do as the patient to change the appearance, but the best way to ensure the best final cosmetic result is to follow up closely with your surgeon.

Answer 42

Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty is designed to produce a nose which is appropriate for your face. Discuss with your facial plastic or plastic surgeon for more details.

Answer 43

Shrinking tip: Many people want a smaller tip after rhinoplasty. The best way to get an accurate idea of how much is possible for you is to see a surgeon who can do photo-imaging. The amount of reduction varies from person to person. The thicker your skin, for example, the less reduction is possible. Your surgeon should be able to answer this question for you.

Answer 44

Rhinoplasty surgery: Dear littlemay1, the nose shrinkage depends on how large the nose is before surgery. This can best be answered in a consultation. If you have a very large nose, there is a limit on how small it can be. We also have to make sure you can breathe properly after the procedure. Best, nima shemirani.

Answer 45

Depends: As we do not usually take skin out in a rhinoplasty there is a limit to how small the nose can be made. See a rhinoplasty surgeon for an opinion.

Answer 46

Depends: It all depends on what surgical maneuvers are utilized by your rhinoplasty surgeon. Every nose is different and tolerates changes differently. Talk to your surgeon about your specific expectations and get a personalized opinion.
