This nose was injured in an automobile accident. Her nose was pushed
off to the right side of her face. When a nose is off center on the
face, the patient usually has a "good side" and a "bad
side." This right oblique view is the bad side of a nose that is
pushed to the right. The nose's leaning to the right looks like a
bulge from this angle.
As you are browsing this patient's views, compare this view with her "good
side," which is view 3.
After surgery, she has a much nicer straight dorsum with a tip that is
more distinct and narrow.

Questioner:
Am I a Good Candidate for These Rhinoplasty Procedures?
I would like to get cosmetic surgery to reduce my dorsal hump and possible Radix reduction. Would I be a good candidate for these procedures? Would I require additional refinements other than what I mentioned? Is closed Rhinoplasty an option? I am unhappy with the bump, and height of my nose. It is also very wide and causes difficulties when I want to wear glasses.
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Radix reduction is important in your nose
If the hump is removed, the radix must be taken down as well, or you nose would look too long, like a Roman statue's nose. Also, raising the tip would help, as well as bringing the entire nose back, closer to your face. See the link to see what these changes could do for your nose.
