Is my nose ok?

If you are apprehensive with getting surgery, your likely not emotionally ready to do anything. You appear to have nice shape to your nose but if there was anything, I would consider narrowing the bridge and dorsum and perhaps the tip. This would feminize your nose.

Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty

Depend on you , if you feel some problem with your nose, do so, but without fear, if you feel fear is not candidate to surgery.

Rhinoplasty surgery

The nose does not necessarily have to be made smaller with a rhinoplasty. A very subtle change can be made. A good rhinoplasty surgeon takes the entire face into consideration, and will create a nose that is in harmony with your other facial features. I would recommend an in-person consultation with a board certified surgeon who uses computer imaging software. He/she will be able to morph a photo of you and give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. This will also serve... more
