Rhinoplasty for Women
Premier Houston Rhinoplasty Surgeon Dr. Michel Siegel
For superior results in female rhinoplasty, it is vital that your plastic surgeon has a breadth of understanding about the differences between female and male noses in structure, anatomy, shape, and skin quality.
Your nose surgery will be customized to achieve balance and harmony among your features. Certain characteristics are subconsciously associated with either female or male noses and must be considered when crafting a custom surgical plan.
Note: Dr. Siegel specializes in preservation and ultrasonic rhinoplasty, both of which produce superior results. He is one of the few surgeons in the US experienced in these types of rhinoplasty. Find out more.
What Makes A Nose Appear More Feminine?
What is considered to be the most beautiful female nose shape and size will often have these attributes:
- Tip Rotation: More upturned, or more rotated tips, are perceived as female
- Tip Projection: Shorter noses are more feminine
- Nose Bridge: straight or slightly curved bridges are preferred
- Width: Slimmer bridges and more sculpted tips add to a more feminine appearance.
Bear in mind that each of these characteristics should be changed to different degrees depending on the current nose shape, size, and projection in your individual case.

Facial Balance: A Critical Part of a Successful Nose Surgery
Changes in the nose structure must be performed to produce the most balanced result in the relationship to the other facial features. Your eyes, lips, brows, and cheeks will all come into focus – rather than others noticing an overlarge or unattractive nose shape, their eyes will be drawn to your most attractive features.
Why Undergo Nose Surgery? Why Women Choose Dr. Siegel.
Dr. Siegel is an acclaimed nose surgeon in Houston, trusted by women in all walks of life to create a more attractive, balanced look by reshaping the nose. Many aesthetic issues can lead to the decision to meet with Dr. Siegel and plan surgery:
- Hump on nose bridge
- Hanging, drooping, or bulbous nose tip
- Pinched nose tip
- Crooked nose
- Overlarge nose
- Overlarge, wide, or long nostrils
- Unusual nostril shape
- Broken nose
- Flat nose bridge
- Wide nose bridge
What is the Rhinoplasty Procedure?
As you will be undergoing a custom surgery, the actual reshaping process will be associated with your individual nose shape, ethnicity, skin type and personal aesthetic goals.
Dr. Siegel must be able to access the areas that require reshaping, whether nose tip, nostrils, or nose bridge. To do so, he may use one of two incision types:
- Closed Rhinoplasty: For minor shape revisions, it is often possible to perform the reshaping through incisions within the nostrils.
- Open Rhinoplasty: For more extensive revision, the incision is placed at the base of the strip of tissue between your nostrils, where it will be essentially invisible once healed.
The Secret Behind Dr. Siegel’s Success in Female Rhinoplasty
Many plastic surgeons develop a “process” for nose surgery. Some even create a recognizable nose shape they create for every face. Dr. Siegel only performs custom rhinoplasty procedures. The “secret” is his balance between art and surgery. He plans each procedure methodically, he has a deep understanding of the nose structures and the intricacies that make each nose unique, yet he also possesses a discerning eye for balance, and how to achieve fitting nose proportions that enhance the other features. This unique combination, and his professional skills employed in performing nose surgery allows him to shape exquisite noses that appear natural.
Why choose Dr. Michel Siegel for your rhinoplasty?
The success of your nose surgery depends above all on the nose surgeon you pick.
Rhinoplasty is not just another procedure offered by Dr. Siegel: It is his main focus. Dr. Siegel is a nose surgery specialist. He is double board certified by the only two boards certifying nose specialists (abohns.org and abfprs.org. Those certifications and his 20+ years of rhinoplasty experience, allow him to perform revision rhinoplasty to correct flaws in primary, secondary, and tertiary rhinoplasties.
More developments in rhinoplasty surgery have occurred in the last 15 years than in the previous 100. Your surgeon should be skilled in the best new techniques in nose surgery.
Dr. Siegel is one of the first surgeons in Texas and the country to be trained in Turkey, Europe, and Latin America in advanced surgical techniques for nose surgery. These techniques include ultrasonic rhinoplasty, which avoids breaking the bones as in traditional rhinoplasty, and preservation rhinoplasty, where the shape of the nose is changed by "preserving" the supportive structures of the nose with minimal bone and cartilage removal. This leads to faster healing and natural long-term outcomes in a shorter period.
Rhinoplasty is more than just a surgical procedure. It is a series of personal decisions, followed by a series of medical and aesthetic decisions. Dr. Siegel will work with you every step of the way.
