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.

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.
