How to avoid a "botched" rhinoplasty

[babyfaced]

When looking at results for a "crooked nose rhinoplasty" (because I need one.) I noticed the majority of the end results looked uncanny. I believe I have figured out why.

Below, I've outlined the difference between midline symmetry prioritization and IPD (or eye symmetry) prioritization using morphs of my face to explain it.

Midline symmetry prioritization:


IPD (eye symmetry) prioritization:

Here is a side by side comparison of each prioritization mirrored on top of one another. Notice how midline prioritization shows greater symmetrical divergence when inverted.

This is my first thread here, so I'm still getting the hang of formatting. Hope this benefitted anyone wondering why some rhinoplasties look uncanny.

Here is an example of an "uncanny" result due to midline symmetry prioritization:

High effort thread, thanks for the insight!

so how do i avoid this?

It’s quite hard to not make it look “uncanny”
Plastic surgery is plastic surgery

so how do i avoid this?

Talk to your surgeon and make it clear that you would like to preserve eye symmetry.
Cite Tom Cruise for example. His midline is way off but his face is still harmonious because of his orbitals.
If he ended up getting rhinoplasty and the surgeon opted for midline symmetry prioritization, his face would be ruined.

do u reccomend any surgeons?

do u reccomend any surgeons?

No lol. I'm literally still a kid. I'm saving up for a rhinoplasty, it'll be a couple of years of hard work and final facial development before I start looking for surgeons. There have been two recommended to me though. https://www.nayakplasticsurgery.com
and https://www.radyrahban.com

And of course there's Eppley if you're made of money lol

Can you give me feedback on my symmetry problem in DMs? It’s not directly related to rhino more to jaw surgery

What is the midline?

What is the midline?

The skeletal midline is marked by the gap between your two front teeth. (Often with crooked noses, the skeletal midline is off). Facial midline is defined by your cupid's bow, or center of upper lip. Neither are the greatest to prioritize in a rhinoplasty, but the facial midline is much better imo.

I thought you said in your OP that IPD prioritisation is better

Which is why my minor orbital socket asymmetry is so brutal

 

[babyfaced]

It is, but of the midlines, facial midline is better than skeletal midline,
