Would a nose job be worth the investment? What changes would be made and about how much would it cost? (Photo)

I think your nose could be made narrower and more refined, so I think you are a good candidate.  You should go on a few consults with surgeons in your area known for their rhinoplasty work.  The estimated cost would be between $7000 and $9000 inclusive of all costs.

Hi ICCake,When you smile, the tip of your nose widens.  Your tip appears to be a little large for the rest of your nose.  A rhinoplasty should bring the tip of your nose into harmony.  Your eyes should be the main focus of your face, having a rhinoplasty should move the focus away from the tip of your nose to your eyes.  As with any aesthetic procedure, it is essential that you choose your treating physician most carefully based on their skill, experience, and natural artistic vision (extra time should be taken to choose your rhinoplasty surgeon!)  Good luck and be well.Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA

Only you can answer the question regarding whether a rhinoplasty is "worth it." There are many changes that can be made during a rhinoplasty, and your surgeon will address the parts of your nose that you feel need correction.Most patients will look at their profile photo and determine whether they would like a hump reduction.  The tip of the nose can appear bulbous. A bulbous tip can be addressed by removing excess cartilage. Suture techniques can narrow and define the tip. The nasal dorsum can also be narrowed by performing osteotomies.  When smiling the nasal tip is being pulled down. A ligament release can fix this problem. This is performed at the same time as a rhinoplasty.Costs vary widely. Consultation when it with an experienced surgeon will help you determine which procedures, if any, are right for you.Good luck!
