Board certified plastic surgeon and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery expert Dr. William J. Binder answers some frequently asked questions about rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, which he often addresses at his Beverly Hills facial plastic surgery practice.
Can you make me look like this person in the photo?
Photographs are a good place to begin our discussion about what you do like and don?t like. It is not possible to recreate someone else?s nose on your face; the goal is to improve on the nose you already have. Your discussion should lead to an agreement of what you and your Beverly Hills rhinoplasty surgeon see as a realistic expectation from the surgery.
Can you fix a nose that sticks out too far?
Yes, you are referring to the projection of the nose. You may also be looking at the projection of the nasal tip, which tends to droop as we age. Depending on your specific case, the overall size of the nose may be reduced, which will allow the tip to drop back toward your face, or the tip cartilage may be manipulated upwards or removed to deproject the tip.
How do you remove a bump from the top of my nose?
A bump or hump is often on the nasal bridge (dorsum). It can be reduced by using a file-like instrument to shave off and smooth down the excess bone. Occasionally, it may be necessary to create controlled breaks in nasal bone to achieve simple hump reduction. The skin easily re-drapes and adheres to the new shape of the nose.
I am unhappy with the width of my nose, can you make it more narrow?
Yes, several factors may be contributing to a nose that appears too wide. The distance between the nasal bones, the cartilage in the tip of the nose that is too wide, and the thickness of the nasal skin will be taken into account and reduced if necessary.
I want to have Beverly Hills nose surgery, but I?m very nervous. How can I overcome this?
It is normal to be nervous about surgery. Take full advantage of your consultation appointment by coming prepared with a list of questions. You will feel more comfortable after discussing your concerns with your Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and determining your optimal treatment plan. You may want to review before and after photos and the testimonials of patients that have gone through the same thing. This will help you feel that you are not alone.
