My family has pretty big noses, but the difference is for them, it works with there facial features. I'm 17 and my nose isn't bumpy, it's straight. The problem is it's very WIDE at the bottom and I don't think it goes with my features. My lips are small, my eyes are small, and im not a large kid. I don't understand why my nose is so unproportional. I want to be a actor someday and I don't think ill get to if my nose looks so bad. I feel if my nose was smaller i'd look good. Help? :(
I do not feel your nose looks extremely large for the rest of your facial features, except at the nasal base. From your photogrphs it appears that you have thick skin and this is responsible for the wide apperance of your nasal base. It is possible to narrow the base of your nose slightly, but the surgery must be done with caution as an overly narrowed nasal base looks ridiculous and is very difficult to correct. Make sure you see a plastic surgeon who is very experienced in rhinoplasty surgery.
What are average rhinoplasty cost? Does the price of a nose job vary by state like some other plastic surgeries?
The fees for rhinoplasty vary depending on the complexity of the case. Rhinoplasty is the one of the most complex operations performed by plastic surgeons and with the increased complexity of the rhinoplasty comes the cost variation. A primary rhinoplasty will be less expensive than a revision rhinoplasty, and a septorhinoplasty to correct breathing difficulties will also be more costly. This in part is due to the increase in operating room time and subsequent increase OR and anesthesia fees. The average surgeons fee for a primary rhinoplasty in the DC area is around $6500 to $8000, this does not include the operating room or anesthesia fees. If you have a deviated septum with breathing difficulties your insurance may cover a portion of the procedure.
Most importantly make sure your surgeons is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Otolaryngology and performs rhinoplastys frequently.
I was wondering what the difference is between an ear nose and throat doctor and a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon? Can my ENT do my nose job ok if I went to him for a deviated septum?

To see the criteria RealSelf uses to list a doctor as a Facial Plastic Surgeon, please visit our Professional Policies. Doctors listed as a 'Facial Plastic Surgeon' on RealSelf are eligible to discuss treatments and procedures for any "neck-up" procedures, including those of the face, ear, nose and throat areas. As always, consumers should do their due-diligence in researching an individual doctors experience and credentials when choosing their surgeon.
ENT doctors (also known as otolaryngologists) have a long history of performing cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty among other cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. We are well versed in all types of nasal disease and well trained in nasal surgery, especially rhinoplasty.
The training in otolaryngology- head and neck surgery includes at least a year of general surgery and then four additional years of head and neck surgery. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery is a major portion of our training: at LEAST 25 percent of our training is in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery- that is plastic surgery of the head and neck region. Our training affords us a great exposure to cosmetic surgery of the face, as well as reconstruction. Some of us go on to a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstruction just as some of the general plastic surgeons who spent several years learning body contouring, reconstruction, hand and burn will go on to an aesthetic fellowship. Our training is simply- different.
