Rhinoplasty for a more masculine nose
Several features of a nose help to convey a more masculine look to the face. A strong nasal dorsum (bridge) is one that really comes to mind. Widening the nose may help to make your face more masculine, but the nose has to blend in with the rest of your face in order to look appropriate on your face.

Rhinoplasty to make a nose more masculine
A masculine nose is generally bigger, longer, and wider. A feminine nose is smaller and more triangular. Your nose can be masculinized; first we have to see more pictures- I'm not convinced you need any surgery at all.

Rhinoplasty can make nose more masculine
It is possible to do reverse osteotomies to widen the nasal bridge. Cartilage grafts, such as spreader grafts can be used to create width to the lower third of the nose. Alar batten graft will make the tip less pointy if needed.

More Masculine Nose
An ideal nose should be in proportion to the surrounding facial structures." Masculine" therefore usually suggests a larger nose with more projection and stature. The nose can be augmented in rhinoplasty surgery. Because this is an unusual request , be real clear with your surgeon what will be changed.

Male nose modification
You have a relatively uncommon request however this is veru possible and fairly simple to do.
Cartilage from your septum would have to be transferred to your dorsum (bridge) and nasal sidewalls as well as your tip. Spreader grafts and alar spreader grafts are several specific ways to accomplish widening of your midvault (middle third of your nose) and the bridge and the lower tip cartilages.
In exterme cases or in cases where you would need or want a very dramatic widening effect, a tiny...

Masculinizing the nose
Black,
Your request is a unique one. But, indeed the nose can be masculinized. It would most likely involve the use of cartilage grafts to widen your cartilages and possibly even breaking your nasal bones to widen them as well. Good luck!

Plastic surgery for a masculine nose.
Certain features are said to make a nose appear more feminine. These incude the angle of the columella with the lip. However, making the tip more broad is significantly more difficult and may require more aggressive managemetn of the lower lateral cartilages with onlay grafts. Seek a consultation with an experienced surgeon.

Rhinoplasty Can Give a Nose More Masculine Features
Hi Black,
Rhinoplasty, using cartilage grafts from your nasal septal cartilage, can accomplish the changes in your nose that your desire. The most important aspect for you is choosing your surgeon most carefully as it is not "rhinoplasty", but the surgeon that will help you achieve the results that you desire.
Good luck and be well.

Making a Nose more Masculine
While we can agree on what makes a nose more feminine and even exaggerated feminine, there is little consensus on what makes a nose MORE masculine. Many nose surgeons would agree that the narrower it is, the more ball-like and raised the tip, the shorter and pug like the nose and the more perfect it is - the more it can be viewed by some as feminine.
From the single frontal view of the nose you present, it is far from being feminine. I personally think it is fine while the nose your like...

Rhinoplasty can be adapted for a more masculine nose
Rhinoplasty is quite flexible and can be adjusted to provide more masculine changes to a nose as you suggest. Your simulation photo should be very helpful when you do go for consultation to clearly show what you are looking to change.
The bridge of the nose will broaden as the the profile is lowered, and too the tip sharpness can be reduced and rounded. Often these changes go in the opposite direction of rhinoplasty on women, yet what you suggest is very possible and can look very well...
