Is my Nose Big, Long or out of Proportion for my Face? (photo)

I've always blamed my nose for my bad profile, and done so much to try and hide it, making sure people never see me from the side. (mission impossible) I have lately figured out, though, that my profile might actually look ugly because my mouth is too far back to be in line with my nose and chin. This might be because I have had braces twice ! I don't know if you get what I mean? I don't have a lip roll, or any volume to my lips. Basically, my mouth area isn't protrusive enough. Opinions?

Try morphing your profile photo to see what is bothering you

Thanks for the question/photos. I think your best bet would be to try using "morphing" software to see how your profile would look if you changed the shape of your nose. You could also try making your upper lip a little fuller and more protruding. There's an app on my website, the Virtual Rhinoplasty, which lets you do this. During consultation, I perform a similar computer imaging exercise using more sophisticated software, to give the patient a little sneak preview of his or... more

Is my Nose Big, Long or out of Proportion for my Face?

From the photos, aesthetically speaking, the profile and front views show a wide nasal bridge and tip with a nasal bridge that's high creating a slight dorsal hump. The nasal tip may also be slightly over-projected. Rhinoplasty can address all of these issues especially when the Rhinoplasty Surgeon understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive nose.

Questions about profile

First of all you do not, by any measure, have an ugly profile. You do have a bit of a 'tension nose' which makes the upper lip look thinner. You can see an example on the link below You can also try to get some Juvederm in your lips to get more fullness

Nasal concerns

You should define specifically what bothers you and what you want to improve. Once this is accomplished you should speak to a surgeon to see if your goals are realistic or not. Good luck.

I think you have a really nice profile and face shape all around. I don't think you need to be thinking about surgery your nose is not even remotely big and your lips are normal.
