Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionShould I Finally Get Rhinoplasty, After Years of Back and Forth?
I am 19 and I have always hated my nose. It is too round and big at the tip, and from my profile view it sticks out too much. What I really want to know is if it is feasible to fix my nose? I want it to look natural. I don't like the look of those too skinny, obviously corrected noses. Is there a way to keep my nose the same kind of shape, just smaller?

Rhinoplasty results that look natural
The rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish many different goals, the first of which is reducing the bulbosity of the nasal tip. Any small humps can also be filed down and nasal bones narrowed through osteotomies. It is important to note that all of these components of the nose must be well balanced to the nose itself along with the facial features. It is important to find someone who has a lot of experience and has done thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries. When the nose is fully healed, the...

Time for a Rhinoplasty
Yes, you would benefit from a rhinoplasty. Your tip seems to be the major issue and you may only need a tip-plasty. However, you would need a full evaluation to plan your surgery. Good luck.

Tip rhinoplasty
Cool picture with spoon in mouth (shows tip of nose well). Consider just a tip rhinoplasty to diminish the size and projection of your tip. Your skin appears too thick to me for a small fake looking tip, provided the surgeon doesn't thin your skin or take too much cartilage. Technically, my approach would be to trim your lower lateral cartilages and apply suture technique. This is not a major procedure, and the most straightforward patients, in my opinion, are...

Natural, Subtle Rhinoplasty
Hi Jojo,
Yes, a properly performed rhinoplasty will refine your nasal tip and adjust the rest of your nose accordingly so that your nose will look natural and "undone". The best rhinoplasty is one where it is not obvious that the patient has had surgery. The most important aspect is choosing your surgeon most carefully. See the below web reference. I am sure that in the proper hands, rhinoplasty will result in a nose that you will love for the rest...

Reduction rhinoplasty
It is actually easier and more predictable when having a rhinoplasty to just reduce the existing structures. Creating a more pointed and narrowed tip can create some vagries in healing that can require revision surgery. Judging by your pictures, it should be possible to achieve the results you are looking for and leaving you with a more natural nose that fits your face. I hope this information helps.
