What rhinoplasty procedures would I need to achieve this result? Natural, ethnic rhinoplasty
Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Dear Graceful903651Thank you for the photos and mock-ups.I will draw your attention to the fact that the changes that you have made in one photo do not match those of another (subtle changes). That being said I think it super important to firstly, see a board-certified plastic surgeon, one who does a lot of Rhinoplasty, and lastly one who does a reasonable number of ethnic Rhinoplasties. I would want to see the results and have the opportunity of speaking to previous patients who have been…
Will a rhinoplasty correct my drooping, bulbous tip that moves a lot when I talk?
Tension nose

Dear Inventive232568,From the photos that you have submitted, it appears that you have a Tension Nose, where the cartilage that splits the nostrils is overdeveloped and has resulted in a long and over-projected nose.The open rhinoplasty approach could affect a smaller nose, with a more refined tip. In addition, a small procedure to divide the muscle that is affecting the tip dip when smiling and speaking is quite easy to perform at the end of the surgery.I suggest a Board-certified Plastic…

Dear redalert1,Recovery from rhinoplasty is a difficult thing to pinpoint. Whilst some people recover quickly (6 weeks to 3 months), others take a lot longer (6 months to 1 year or infrequently longer)Factors of age, health, comorbidities, smokers, revisions etc. contribute to a delays in healing and prolonged swelling. It can be very difficult to predict hard endpoints of recovery preemptively.I would add that a neck dissection is not typical for a simple thyroid nodule and the indication…
Would a chin implant or a sliding genioplasty be the best option for me?

Great question.
The way to address this is unfortunately more complicated than just looking at side profiles.
The reason is that it is impossible to see what your upper and lower jaw positions are relative to one another, and to assess your teeth and how they align top to bottom. A basic xray/ panorex would be helpful but Cephalometry is crucial in your situation along with a physical examination.
I would schedule an appointment with either a Plastic Surgeon or OMF surgeon.
Good luck

Thank you for the pictures:
The photos and the history would make a capsular contracture more likely but a thorough examination and ultrasound/ mamagraphy would be the next step in order to rule any other sinister pathology out.
Capsular contracture is when the naturally forming lining around the implant becomes thickened, this results in a firmer implant, disfiguration and finally pain and the aforementioned signs and symptoms.

Do I need a TT or will liposuction be enough?

Hi there,
Based on your images I would recommend a mini tummy tuck with plication of the rectus fascia.
(what i mean is that you would need some skin removed from the lower abdomen and the muscles would be brought together to improve you tummy bulge) This would flatten out the tummy and improve your flank curves.
You mentioned a BBL – I would suggest that you have the areola position altered as at the moment they are skygazer.
Clearly all of this is preceeded by a thorough…

How long should one wait after a facelift to do rhinoplasty?
time constraints

The way i see it you have two options:
Either find someone who is able to perform both procedures at the same time (Honestly it is a little bit nonsensical to have two plastic surgeons operate on you) or wait 6-8 weeks for the swelling from the Facelift to subside before performing the rhinoplasty.
Good luck
