Not that there’s anything wrong with listening to podcasts, but…
The point here is an issue I see every week in my clinic - male patients who received overly aggressive reduction rhinoplasty that resulted in a feminized appearance to their nose. In this photo, his after nose appears feminine because of its concave contour on profile and it’s markedly reduced length. In general, a masculine nose is prominent and stands out and a feminine nose is delicate and blends in. His nose went from being proportional and strong to being more delicate and small. The problem is that it’s not necessarily due to surgeon error. Surgery, especially rhinoplasty surgery, is inherently somewhat unpredictable. Most of the time the results are exactly what the surgeon and patient wanted, but, in a significant minority of patients, there is cartilage collapse or asymmetric scarring or just more tissue retraction than anticipated.
I’m not knocking surgery here. I’m just advising people to go into surgical procedures with an accurate appreciation of the uncertainties inherent in the healing process. Fortunately, many of these issues are correctable with filler.
Questions?

Would he have had a better result with liquid rhinoplasty?
