What Would You Recommend for my Nose, It Drops Down and the Nostrils Are Large?

I think it's too big for my face because of the hump and my nostrils are too large because the tip of my nose drop down. When I smile, it gets worst, I can't smile as my upper lip seem to drop down with the tip of nose...it makes my smile too little (hide too much my upper theeth). What do you recommend ?

Rhinoplasty

Treatment of Large Nose

Recommendations for drooping nose with large nostrils

With rhinoplasty the hump can be removed. Once the hump is removed, the nasal bones must be narrowed to prevent an open roof deformity. Columellar show is reduced by trimming back the membranous and cartilaginous caudal septum. The tip can be brought upwards and the nose shortened by trimming the cartilaginous septum as well. Wide nostrils are best treated with alarplasty. The plunging tip phenomenon is treated by releasing the depressor septi ligament so that... more

Droopy nose

A rhinoplasty can really bring out you features by better balancing your face. Your nose can be shortened, tip elevated and profile and tip refined. It won't point down when you smile anymore.

What Would You Recommend for my Nose, It Drops Down and the Nostrils Are Large?

The ideal nose length is 1/3 of the face. Your nose appears too long. The hump needs to be removed and depressor septi muscle needs to be release in order to reduce pulling of the nasal tip down on smiling. It will also enlongate the upper lip and reduces the teeth showing. Finally the tip needs to be elevated ( increase projection ) and refined.
