Type of Nose Job to Improve Profile and Wideness?
I'm 17 years old and I've wanted a nose job since I was about 12 years old. I feel like my nose is very wide and I really hate it's profile when I turn to the side. What do you think would be the best type of surgery to achieve the results I'm looking for?

Improve profile with rhinoplasty
Hello,
I would have to see more photos and examine you to determine the best possible options. It sounds like you may benefit from a Rhinoplasty with osteotomies (narrowing of the nasal bones). Performing a hump removal will enhance the profile from the side, and the the osteotomies will help to decrease the width. I would be happy to take a look at any more photos you may have.

Cosmetic rhinoplasty to improve profile and nose width
A cosmetic rhinoplasty can certainly reduce the width of the entire nose. The rhinoplasty operation would consist of narrowing the tip with suturing techniques and osteotomies to narrow the nasal bridge. This can all be done through a closed or endonasal approach under general anesthesia. The surgery takes approximately one to one-and-a-half hours to perform, and is an outpatient surgery.

Wide Nose
Hi Ariel,
Many patients have the same complaint as you do. It appears that the bridge of your nose is low and wide. In order to correct this, you might want to consider a custom nasal implant and narrowing of the nasal bones. This will give you height in the profile and will make your nose appear slimmer. The boxiness of your tip can also be redone by sculpting the cartilages in the tip of your nose.
An open rhinoplasty will allow correct placement of the implant and sculpting of your tip...

Every Face Has Its Own Nose
You should not hate your nose. Every face needs to have a nose that matches that face. You have a fuller face and a narrow nose would look to be out of place. However if the width is an issue, alar wedge resection will help you. To improve the profile a dorsal implant made from your own nasal septum or ear cartilage will improve the profile. Your thick skin will not allow a very defined sharp nose and that is good because you have soft features and you need a soft nose.

What does a rhinoplasty do?
The changes your request are typically addressed during a traditional rhinoplasty: namely a reduced hump from the side view and narrowing from the frontal view. During this procedure it is conventional to refine the tip of the nose as well but that is at your discretion.
