I’m 45 years old and have always disliked my nose. While I’m not displeased with the shape per se, I’ve always felt it was a bit too wide. Would it require a full rhinoplasty to thin it out a bit? I am also starting to to consider some anti-aging surgery as well and am wondering what I should have done?My face is starting to fall and I feel like my eyes are looking heavy (I already get Botox and filler).

From your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The tip can be lifted and refined, and your nose shortened, while improving bridge irregularities at the same time. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation
Based on your photos, you appear to have a straighter nasal appearance, however, I agree that it's a drop wider. That will likely improve on its own as your swelling dissipates. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
If you just have your dorsal bump removed from your nose, it would result in a wider nasal appearance. It's called an open roof deformity. This is why we nearly routinely perform osteotomies on patients who request hump reduction. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
