Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Is Rhinoplasty Realistic for the Type of Nose I Have?
I have been told "You could be really pretty if your nose was smaller..." I have a really wide nose, but I am white. I have never seen anyone, or any pictures with a nose even similar to mine. I definitely DO NOT want a pinched, or a completely different nose, just a more refined version of MY nose. Is that even possible? Rhinoplasty scares me because my nose is so unique. I have never felt my face was balanced, but I don't want a different nose... any input would be invaluable.

Well-performed Rhinoplasty Surgery may lead to a narrower appearance to your nose.
I read your concerns and reviewed your photos. The width of your nose may be narrowed so it's more harmonious with the rest of your face. You should consult several rhinoplasty specialists and review their credentials and photos before proceeding.
Your expectations seem realistic, and it's normal to be a bit nervous. Selection of your surgeon is of paramount importance in achieving goals that would be established.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Rhinoplasty is a Great Option to Refine your Nose
Rhinoplasty is a great surgery to refine your own nose. Communication with your plastic surgeon is of upmost importance, so that he understands what changes you want and those you do not. At El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, I use the Vectra 3D imaging system to communicate with my patients. By using this three dimensional system you can actually see the changes to your nose in your face before having any procedures.

Rhinoplasty for wide nose
Rhinoplasty surgery is a great procedure for refinement of the nose. It is important to find a board certified plastic surgeon that you trust and with whom you have a good rapport. This may take several consultations, but it is an important step.
Experience matters. Look at the physician’s before and after pictures and discuss your goals. With the right fit of physician to patient, you should have a lovely outcome and have a more balanced look to your facial features.

Rhinoplasty for the wide nose.
Good rhinoplasties refine someone's looks without making them look abnormal. You have a very wide nose and bump and wide tip. These can be made to look more attractive, but you need to discuss YOUR GOALS with the surgeon.

The best rhinoplasty is one that makes you look better but still like yourself
The goal of rhinoplasty is to have a natural appearing nose, one that fits your face. The best compliment I hear from patients is "I saw an old friend from High School and they said I looked great" NOT "had a nosejob?" A wide nose, even with thick skin can certainly be made narrower and help accentuate other attractive features on your face such as your eyes.

Thick nose
Tough nose, great eyes. If your nose is not overdone, just as you have wisely mentioned, you can get a very nice improvement in your look that I think you'd like. Research your board certified plastic surgeon carefully.

Rhinoplasty on Large Nose Will Not be Subtle
Hi Denver,
Your nose is wide and your tip is bulbous. Most likely your skin is thick and your cartilages are weak. Rhinoplasty in a nose such as yours will likely change the way you look. A "subtle" rhinoplasty on a large nose will result in a large nose. You must first of all want the surgery for your own reasons, not based on what others say, and secondly must communicate your desires and fears with the rhinoplasty surgeons with whom you consult...
