My nose is so ugly I look like a pigeon.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Making the Nose Look Smaller Thanks for your question and photos. Although your nose does not have a bad shape, I agree that it is too large for your face. The challenge is to keep the many positive features of your nose while setting it back closer to your face, and depending on your wishes, also keeping a fairly straight profile or a subtle slope. The wrong thing to do (and the easiest) is to simply lower the upper part of the nose where you have a slight hump, narrow the tip, and leave the tip projection unchanged, which would still make your nose look large and give you a pronounced slope that could look "operated on." I would suggest then lowering the entire profile including the tip, which means resecting a portion of tip cartilages allowing a setback of the nose. I have done this hundreds of times, and it is quite predictable. In my hands, this method has given high patient satisfaction with a more proportional nose — but surprisingly subtle results. Talk to a qualified and experienced nose surgeon about this option.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to make the nose smaller The rhinoplasty procedure would involve shaving down the dorsal hump, and osteotomies to the nasal bones. Minor tip adjustments may also be required at the same time.

Answer: Good rhinoplasty candidate First of all, your nose is not ugly, but some refinement would be nice. This would include making the tip a bit smaller and narrower, while also removing some of the excess on the roof or the nose. Take care that your surgeon does not do too much, however, especially in terms of turning it up excessively.
