When your nose is the first thing you notice

Many rhinoplasty patients have thought about their nose for years. A dorsal hump, crooked bridge, bulbous tip, wide nose, drooping tip, or profile imbalance can make photos and angles feel frustrating. A consultation helps translate those concerns into realistic surgical options.

Bridge bump
A hump or high point on the bridge changes your side profile or draws attention in photos.
Crooked bridge
Asymmetry, prior trauma, or a shifted bridge can make the nose feel out of balance.
Tip concerns
A bulbous, drooping, or undefined tip can affect how refined the nose looks from the front and side.
Width or nostril shape
A wide nose, nostril shape, or overall size concern may make the nose feel too dominant for your face.
The solution

Rhinoplasty is about balance, not a template.

Cosmetic rhinoplasty reshapes or refines the nose with the goal of better facial harmony. For the right candidate, it may address the bridge, tip, width, nostril shape, asymmetry, or overall profile.

The strongest plans start with your face, not a trend photo. Your surgeon can explain what changes may be appropriate, what should be preserved, and what tradeoffs matter before you decide.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

How do I know if rhinoplasty is right for me?

A consultation is the right first step. Your surgeon can review your goals, anatomy, health history, and expectations before discussing whether rhinoplasty may be appropriate.

Can rhinoplasty look natural?

Natural-looking refinement is usually the goal. The plan should be based on your facial balance, not a copied or overdone nose shape.

What concerns can rhinoplasty address?

Rhinoplasty may address a bridge bump, crooked bridge, bulbous or drooping tip, width, nostril shape, asymmetry, or overall profile concerns when appropriate.

Can breathing concerns be discussed too?

Yes. Cosmetic goals can be discussed alongside structural or breathing concerns, so the surgeon can explain what should be evaluated before treatment.

What should I expect at a rhinoplasty consultation?

During a rhinoplasty consultation at San Diego ENT, Dr. Montes will review what you’d like to change about your nose, any breathing concerns, prior nasal surgery or trauma, and your overall health history. She may evaluate your nasal structure, facial balance, airway function, and whether your goals are cosmetic, functional, or both. You’ll also discuss realistic results, surgical options, recovery, risks, and whether rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, or another nasal procedure is the best fit for your needs.
