Rhinoplasty for Wide Nose

Your wide nose can be improved with rhinoplasty surgery. In addition to actually narrowing your nose cartilage grafts will probably be necessary to define and support your tip - I suspect your cartilages are soft and weak. Consult with an experienced surgeon to discuss alternatives and establish reasonable expectations.

Wide Nose

You seem to have a round tip with no definition, short central column and a wide mid nose. These qualities are usually seen in Asians. The problem is that structurally, Asian noses lack adequate septal cartilage that is necessary for tip reconstruction. Silicone implants are commonly used to correct this, however make sure your surgeon discusses all the complications that can occur when using an implant.

Rhinoplasty (nose job) for a wide nose

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery for a wide nose is quite common. Your nose appears wide not just at the dorsum or bridge where the bones appear wide, but also at the base of the nose. To narrow wide nasal bones, they are fractured in a controlled manner and brought in. The base of the nose can be narrowed by excising a small amount of skin at the sill of the nose. Hope that helps.

Rhinoplasty For The Infantile Wide and Broad Nose

By your limited photos (no side view), you have a wide infantile tip and broad bridge deformity.
