My nose is pointy like a beak! Do you think i am a good candidate for Rhinoplasty? I want a natural good side profile for once. I have always hated my nose and really want a nose job to make my nose look normal but everyone of my friends says i dont need one. i think my nose takes up my whole face and i hate any photos of me on the side. Honest thoughts please?

Improving the nasal profile with rhinoplasty
If you hate the appearance of your profile, then rhinoplasty can certainly improve it and make it more attractive. Reducing your dorsal hump (bridge) to give you a more feminine profile will make the nose appear a bit smaller, a bit shorter, and "prettier". A great way to see how specific changes will affect the look of your nose, and determine whether you like it or not, is to sit down with your surgeon and have him/her perform photomorphing with your pictures.

Rhinoplasty for a natural looking profile
Rhinoplasty can certainly be performed to make your nose less “beak-like”. According to the profile photos, removing the dorsal hump on the bridge will help. The depressor septi ligament can be released to prevent the tip from drooping down upon animation. Rhinoplasty is performed under a brief general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Please refer to the link below for before and after photos of a patient who had similar concerns as you.

Need for Rhinoplasty
You don't need a rhinoplasty but you can improve your nose with surgery. Although we all listen to the suggestions of friends and family members the changes you're considering are for you, not them. Your profile can be refined so your nose is in proportion to the rest of your facial features. Without other pictures I cannot comment on the rest of your nose.

My Nose is Pointy Like a Beak. Do You Think I Am a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Yes, the photo shows a dorsal hump of nasal bone and cartilage that could be reduced with a Closed Rhinoplasty. It would require breaking the nasal bones which is standard in this type of nasal refinement.

Bridge hump removal
It sounds like you're a potential candidate for rhinoplasty. The concerns you're expressing and photos show a relatively common (in my experience) type of over sized nose.
An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon should be able to help you. The decision to have surgery should be up to you. What matters is that your current nose has bothered you for a long time.

Rhinoplasty
Thanks for the photos. From your profile, you certainly can have some improvement to soften the profile. Of course, an exam in person would be essential. Good luck.

Rhinoplasty consultation with computer imaging
From your photographs it appears that you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. It would be good to see a photo from the front to be able to tell more about the tip of your nose. The take off point of your nose from your eyebrow area appears to be a bit low. This is called a low radix. One technique to correct your nose would be a modest lowering of the nasal dorsum with a possible cartilage graft at the radix area. Also the tip can be refined depending...

Thank you for your pictures. From what I can see, you would be a potential candidate for a rhinoplasty. However, this would be a choice that you would have to make. If you are un-happy with the shape and appearance of your nose then your fist step would be to schedule a consultation with a reputable, board certified plastic surgeon. Have a few consultations with Doctors until you find one that you are comfortable with.

Rhinoplasty with natural results
Thanks for the photos.
Your friend's opinion that your nose doesn't "need" rhinoplasty is true. They like you no matter how your nose looks.
The choice of changing the shape of your nose is yours to make, but a good surgery consult can help you make that decision.
Best Wishes on your choices.

My Nose is Pointy Like a Beak. Do You Think I Am a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Based upon the photos posted and without an in person examination you appear to be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. Seek in person consults from boarded surgeons in your area.

Great candidate for rhinoplaty because the tip of your nose has good projection.
Hi.
1) That means there is good distance between your upper lip and the nasal tip. That is very favorable anatomy.
2) The pointy tip can be corrected to give a more elegant profile.
