Rhinoplasty
You need to be more specific before you have any nasal surgery. Exactly what is it you hate about the nose? Is it the tip, the bridge etc.? Your posted photos show a drooping tip, a hump on the bridge and further downward movement of the tip with smiling. The standard rhinoplasty of taking down the excess on the bridge to get rid of the hump, trimming the upper edge of the tip cartilages to rotate the tip up and severing the muscles connecting the tip to the lip to prevent downward pull on...

Limitations to size reduction with rhinoplasty.
The size and shape of your nose can be changed,but there are limits. The skin of your nose is thick which will obscure some of the changes to the skeleton. Furthermore, as the volume of the nose is reduced, the skin has to adapt. If too much volume is reduced, the skin just gathers up and looks unattractive. Video imaging would be a good way to get an idea of what could be realistically accomplished in the operating room.

Ethnic nose
The best way to correct your nose is to have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon regarding the specific complaints and wish list that you have regarding your surgery. Some things can be achieved but some aspects cannot. Also the best nose job is the one that improves your appearance rather than change it.

Well-performed Rhinoplasty Surgery may be employed to improve the appearance of your nose.
I reviewed your photos:
Your nose appears wide and long, with irregular contours, a large hump, and a dependent, droopy tip. Nearly all of these features may be improved with well-performed rhinoplasty techniques.
You may want to consult several reputable rhinoplasty specialists to see what you might expect to achieve after surgery. Computer-imaging may be helpful for visualizing what to expect.
Hope this helps.

Rhinoplasty for Men
It is great that you have shared photos. From a nose surgeon's stand point, you have an exciting nose. In the frontal view, it would be best to have a less long appearance of the nose, narrower bridge and alar base (base of nose) while still maintaining it's masculine presence. The exaggeration of the width when smiling ought to be significantly decreased. From the profile view, your entire nose projects too far out from your face. This should be addressed by lowering the bridge,...

I hate my nose
Don't hate it, get it fixed!. You have a short upper lip, acute nasolabial angle, wide droopy tip and wide prominent dorsum. These are all areas that can be improved and changed with rhinoplasty. How much change you would like is something you can work out with your doctor before hand with computer imaging. This will allow you to see how different you would look with varying amounts of change to each area. Good luck!

Male rhinopasty
The primary goal of every rhinoplasty is and should be to improve or restore breathing. You tip is very droopy and without looking inside your nose, I would guess that rotating you tip would improve not only the appearance but also your breathing. You would need a lot of support in the columellar area as your nose appears to have very large heavy lateral crura. Reducing and narrowing the dorsum (hump) of your nose would improve your profile.
