Rhinoplasty refinement

Edward D. Buckingham, MD answers: Rhinoplasty to improve front view of nose?

I like my nose overall, but I'm not happy with the front view. I think it's too wide from base to nostril. Also it spreads and droops when I smile. I would like a narrower nose, a pointier tip and smaller nostrils, more like Monica Bellucci's nose. Is it possible, or do I run a high risk of it looking too fake?

After reviewing you photos your request seems reasonable.  In the hands of a qualified surgeon you shouldn't have to worry about looking unnatural.  I would encourage you to speak to someone you can take your nasal features and make them more refined and fit your face however, instead of trying to seek the appearance of a famous person.  Every face is different and every nose should strive to fit the face of its owner.
