Procedure to Decrease the Nose Size?
The tip of my nose is very wide and undefined; the bridge of my nose is also very long and from the side it looks as though it protrudes out from the side of my face. I would like to make the overall appearance of my nose smaller and proportional to my face. What type of procedure will I need?

Rhinoplasty to decrease size of nose
I think that you have a good idea of what you do not like about your nose. All of these issues can be addressed with a rhinoplasty. Once you have identified a surgeon with whom you are comfortable, they will be able to demonstrate to you the changes that you desire for your nose and correct the issues that seem to bother you the most. I think you have every opportunity to have a wonderful surgical result.

Various procedures to decrease size of nose
There is a procedure to decrease the nose size. The tip of the nose can be narrowed significantly through dome suturing techniques and removal of some of the tip cartilage. This will give more definition and refinement to the tip of the nose. The total tip projection can be decreased to make the nose more proportional to the face. This is all done through closed rhinoplasty techniques where there is no external incision.

Complex rhinoplasty requires multiple steps
In order to provide you with results that will be proportionate to your face and ears, the nose will require several different manipulations during the rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty to decrease nose size
Hello,
You would need rhinoplasty with tip refinement. I would really need to examine you to determine the best options for surgery, as it is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis based on the photo alone. Thank you, and best of luck.

Rhinoplasty is about nasal tip and dorsum balance
You have a very difficult nasal problem which is not confined to your nasal tip alone. You also have thick nasal skin and wide nasal alar rims. You would benefit from an open approach to your nose to optimally address your nasal tip to refine it using your own cartilage and defatting the nasal tip as well. This will require significant expertise and experience so you need to research your rhinoplasty surgeon well

Rhinoplasty
The surgical procedure depends on an assesment of your aesthetic goals as well as your anatomy. Achieving a smaller tip may ironically require addition of cartilage to the tip of the nose. Meet with at least two surgeons to discuss your options for management

Rhinoplasty
I think that I may have answered this question already. First, your photo looks a bit distorted. You seem to have very thick skin. This may affect the final result. Without seeing more views it may be difficult to offer you advice, but the tip can definitely be softened a bit.
