Is my nose too large for my face? (Photo)

The decision to undergo rhinoplasty is a very personal one. What concerns one person may not concern someone else. That being said, I think your observations and requests are certainly reasonable and achievable. If you do decide to have a rhinoplasty, I would seek out a surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetic surgery and more specifically, rhinoplasty. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

It is possible to improve the appearance of the profile with rhinoplasty surgery. I would recommend a consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. He or she may use computer imaging software to morph a photo of you, which will give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. This serves as a fantastic communication tool between you and your prospective surgeon. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

The rhinoplasty procedure and can involve shaving down the dorsal hump which is composed of both cartilage and bone. Shaving down the projection of the nose will also give the illusion of the being less large. Osteotomies will be required of the nasal bones. The bulbous tip is addressed with a combination of suturing techniques and cartilage removal to refine and narrow the tip.
