Large nose can be made smaller with rhinoplasty

A large nose can become significantly smaller through rhinoplasty. Overall projection of the nose, thick skin, wide thick nasal bones, and thick upper lateral and lower lateral cartilages can all be improved, refined, and reduced in size, however, there are limitations. It is important to make sure the relationships between the bones and cartilages are in balance and the entire nose is in balance with your other facial features.

Nasal Size Reduction

A larger nose certainly can be made significantly smaller. It depends on numerous factors and needs of the individual patient. Skin thickness is part of the consideration. Another set of factors is the proportions of the nose to itself and to the rest of the face. Those are often bony and cartilaginous anatomical issues that need to be addressed. The best way to have your question answered is to see a board certified surgeon in a consultation. Good luck! more
