I Would Like a More Feminine Looking Nose, is This Possible?

i have always wanted a smaller nose what would you suggest to get a more feminine nose? thankyou.

A: How To Achieve A More Feminine Looking Nose

With all the advances in technology and techniques in plastic surgery almost anything is possible these days. You mention that you would like a more feminine and smaller nose, but smaller does not necessarily mean "feminine" as there are other factors to consider such as shape and angle.  Everyone has their own idea about particular traits. Is there a celebrity or a picture of someone who has this look that you desire? If so, you should use this in communicating exactly what look you are trying to achieve with your plastic surgeon, and then he can verify that is indeed possible and a good choice for your facial structure.

Can a 16 Year Old Girl Get a Rhinoplasty?

i am 15 years old right now and for a long time i havee hated my nose and i was wondering if i could get something done to change it when i turn 16 this summer. what do you think i should change to make it fit my face more. i kind of just dont like the tip it is over projected. doesnt fit my face at all. about how much would this cost?

A: Teenage Rhinoplasty- Plastic Surgery Questions Answered

Yes, you can have a Rhinoplasty at 16.  Make sure to involve your parents and/or family members in this big decision.

How exciting- turning 16 and a new look.  It is hard to tell from just one picture what aesthetically you should do to your nose so that it “fits better with your face”.  At a consultation, your plastic surgeon may take measurements and photos. Together you will come up with a plan to reshape your nose so that it has balance and symmetry with your other facial features.  I will tell you that smoothing out a hump or bump, shortening the length and refining the tip are the most common changes made through having a Rhinoplasty.  Make sure to bring a parent or relative with you to your consult and to meet your surgeon.  Plastic surgery is a big decision, especially for a teenager.  The results you receive should last a lifetime so make sure to do your research and be very clear with your surgeon with the look you want to achieve. 


Regarding cost of a Rhinoplasty- prices vary depending on the complexity of the surgery.  Although I’m sure cost is very important to you, it should not be your highest priority.  Making sure you choose the right plastic surgeon to safely deliver your ideal results should be.

I Want Rhinoplasty but I'm Scared the Surgeon Will Make It Too Narrow?

From side view, I don't have a problem with nose, it isn't long and it doesn't have a bump on it but from the front, I have a slightly broad/wide nose and I think if it was slightly smaller it would bring out my other features a lot more. Also when I smile, the tip of my nose spreads out. However, I'm wondering, is it worth it to have rhinoplasty? As I've seen cases where the surgeons have made the nose really narrow and pinched which I don't want at all? I want a very small, subtle change.

A: Worried About Getting Your Ideal Results

If you are looking for a subtle change, then you need to communicate that to your plastic surgeon. Use digital imaging, before and after photos, pictures from magazines- anything that will help you portray exactly what it is you are looking to achieve.  If you feel that your surgeon may not be able to deliver your ideal results, then you need to ask yourself if your expectations are realistic and/or is this the right surgeon for your Rhinoplasty.
