Rhinoplasty before college
The rhinoplasty procedure is an outpatient surgical procedure typically done under general anesthesia. Certainly the bridge is can be pared down, both the cartilage and the bony components, as well as making sure the tip balances with the remainder of the nose. It is important to make sure that the nose balances with itself and with the rest of the facial features. Find a rhinoplasty surgeon who has performed thousands of nasal surgeries. Computer imaging is a great idea and is a useful...

Limited rhinoplasty procedure
From the photos you have submitted, it is a relatively straight forward procedure to provide you with the results you are looking for. Judging by your after pictures, you would like relatively minor changes predominantly involving improving your profile. It is much easier to perform a rhinoplasty on a patient, in my opinion, who has a good idea of what they would like done to their nose rather than one who is unsure and wants me to create something that I like. That being said, I would...

Rhinoplasty before College - What can be done?
Rhinoplasty is a 3D operation - It's sculptural and usually changing one portion can have an effect on another portion. Having said that it appears that your concern is the prominence of your profile, or the 'bump' on your nasal bridge. This is usually a straightforward problem to remedy. Having the tip of the nose positioned properly in relation to the bridge of the nose can sometimes be more work. It all depends upon the structure of the tip and how much intrinsic strength it...

Rhinoplasty Computer Imaging as a Predictor of Surgical Results
Hi SS,
From your profile views you can achieve your goals with a properly performed rhinoplasty. Not only that, you are a great photo shop imager, and could work in any facial plastic surgeons office doing computer imaging of noses...nice nasal proportions. I routinely use realistic computer imaging as a tool in rhinoplasty consultation, and then as a guide immediately prior to surgery. You will need to choose your surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well.

No Recommendation Until the Front View Can Be Seen
Sparklestar,
Remember that a rhinoplasty is a three-dimensional operation. The surgeon needs to see your nose in all views.
Suggest re-submitting with profile, front and 45-degree angle views.

You appear to have realistic expectations regarding rhinoplasty surgery.
The first imaged photos you show are my favorite of the three. You lowered your nasal bridge and gave a gentle, feminine curve. I think it's realistic to expect a result like this from well-performed rhinoplasty surgery.
Research your surgeon thoroughly, and start to consult some area board-certified rhinoplasty specialists. You can check aafprs.org to get a list of local facial plastic surgeons.
Good luck!

Dorsal hump removal
It seems that what you want is straightforward enough. A dorsal hump removal should give you a nise straight dorsum in the hands of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. Make sure to go to the best because you don't want to need revisions later if possible.

Certainly changes that you request can be achieved, although I would caution you that photoshopped photos can not mimic the final results exactly.
