Yes but....

Hi, What you are asking for is very realistic and possible BUT in the proper surgical hands. Do your homework. Look for surgeons that mainly do Rhinoplasty and make sure your surgeon does his own computer imaging as well to show you what he would suggest for your nose as well. Look at lots of before and after pictures of his patients and make sure he is creating pretty but natural looking noses and not fake ones or ones that have the signs of a "done" look... more

The Key to Successful Rhinoplasty is Realistic Expectations

Looking at your before and after photos, I am glad you have realistic expectations. The changes you desire are possible with the current techniques in rhinoplasty.

Nose, rhinoplasty, price reduction,costs

Much improvement can be achieved with your nose and still maintain balance to your face and a natural look to your nose. My main goal is to make the nose "blend" in the face and not stand out. Look at my video!

#Rhinoplasty for subtle improvements of facial balance, without major change

Hi sparklestar222 in florida, Rhinoplasty is not one operation, but many potential operations. Every patient is unique.

You seem to have very realistic expectations about your nose. From what I see in the pictures, the improvements you have imaged are certainly possible in the right hands. Many rhinoplasty surgeons use digital imaging software to "predict" what the nose might look like after surgery. Make sure you discuss the areas that you would like to improve with your surgeon. Good luck!

While photoshop alteration gives you a what you want, and I agree those are some of the things I can see on photos, a full physical would be essential. I would also warn you that final results would in no way be exactly like your computer alterations although they may be very close.

Rhinoplasty Recommendations

I think what you have outlined in your photo images is fairly realistic in terms of a possible outcome. I agree that bringing your bridge height down and refining your tip shape and position are excellent surgical goals. In the hands of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, there is a great chance you will be quite happy with the results. I would caution you, however, that this type of surgery is hardly ever considered 'just a minor thing' in my mind. Even with finesse type changes... more

Accomplish This Rhinoplasty

Thanks for all the photos and your concerns. You really need to see experienced boarded surgeons in person to feel "right" about the plans. Best of Luck.

The rhinoplasty will accomplish your goals.

Removal of the bump and more projection of the tip with or without narrowing the tip will give you the result you want. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and meet his patients who have a nose like yours to get the best result.
