Will my nose look natural if it's less chunky?

I feel like my nose is very fat from the from the front and chunky from the side. Is it possible to look a lot more refined from the front as well as less hooky from the side? I'm afraid that it will look weird afterwards

A: Rhinoplasty results should look natural

William Portuese, MD

The nose can certainly be refined by narrowing the bridge, mid third of the vault, and tip of the nose. These can all be done through a traditional endonasal rhinoplasty. The nose will look more refined to further balance with facial features and to look less noticeable. A well-trained rhinoplasty surgeon... more

The bulbous tip is what you are referring to as "Chunky". It will certainly be finer with narrowing of the tip area.

A: You can have your nose narrowed, and a bump removed with Rhinoplasty Surgery.

Eric M. Joseph, MD

I read your concerns, and viewed your frontal photo. Your nose is certainly wide on the front view. If you have a profile-hump as well, these aesthetics are typically addressed during Rhinoplasty Surgery. During your in-person consultation, your experienced, certified Rhinoplasty surgeon will let you know... more

A: Rhinoplasty

Steven H. Schuster, MD

 Dear Kajal Without seeing a side view it is difficult to say.  The goal of a rhinoplasty is to give you a nose that fits your face and looks like the nose you should have been born with. Why not see a plastic surgeon in consult before making any decisions and see what they can do by looking at... more
