Some people think my nose is cute because it’s pixie or elf-like. When I was younger boys made fun of me, calling me stuck up because of my nose shape. When I look at my friends and celebs no one has a nose like mine. I don’t feel sexy and I’m obviously self conscious about it. I’m considering finding a plastic surgeon for a nose job. Does anyone know if some surgeons specialize by type of nose job, or is a nose job just a nose job?

My goal is to create a nose that fits the patient's face. I see many patients who have had previous surgery that is technically good, but aesthetically, the nose does not fit the face. Be careful with alterations of a pixie nose! It is difficult, and the aesthetic goals must be clear.
First and foremost, it is clear as others have stated already that you choose a board certfied plastic surgeon who is highly experienced with all types of noses.

From what you said, it sounds like your nose is maybe too short and perhaps sticks up in the air too much. Also, depending on your height, it might actually be too small.

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, then you should definitely see a rhinoplasty specialist. Review your concerns and I am sure he will review a simple plan to correct your problems.
I am only guessing, but I bet by "pixie like" you mean that your nose is overly "cute" -- turned up, short, and very refined. You need to seek out a very, very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to treat this condition, as most rhinoplasty maneuvers result in further refinement, further... more
I would be curious to see what your nose looks like. I suspect you may have had an injury to your septum where it was fractured causing a short and over rotated nose. As some of the other answers suggest, a rhinoplasty is the most difficult and rewarding facial plastic surgical technique. The best chance... more
Hi, I truly believe that rhinoplasty is one of the most complicated cosmetic operations we do. It is very important that you see someone who is experienced. This is especially true because when you have a "pixie" nose the operation to lengthen and de-rotate the nose is even more complex. Make sure... more
What is important is how pleased you are with your nose. A turned up nose can be turned down so to speak through rhinoplasty. When you go see a facial plastic surgeon, you should ask to see what your nose would look like by altering it on a computer with a special imaging program. The surgeon can get a... more
A pixie nose can indeed be very cute, or maybe it is too upturned and you think it will look better if it was changed some. I would go and consult several rhinoplasty specialists. Usually we do computer imaging at the consultation which will be helpful for you to preview the potential changes and decide... more
