Is It Possible to Get my Nose Closer to my Face? The Tip and Bridge. (photo)

I have a small head with small eyes and a small mouth. I have a long, pointy nose that dominates my face. The tip of my nose sticks out too far and also i feel as if the bridge of my nose just isn't close enough to my face. I absolutely hate being seen from the side. would my situation be a big procedure with rhinoplasty? About how much will it cost? Thank you so very much for your time!

Getting nose closer to face, de-projecting the nose

It is possible to de-project the nose significantly, although there are some limitations that will be inherent with the rhinoplasty procedure. It is extremely important to keep the components of the nose in relationship to each other while the entire nose is de-projected. Obviously it is important not to get a ski slope nose in an attempt to de-project the nose too much. In addition to de-projecting the nose, it is also important to consider a chin implant to give the chin... more

Is it possible to get my nose closer to my face?

It is possible to deproject the nose with rhinoplasty. There are a few ways to do this and the chosen method will depend on the individual circumstances of the patient. Cartilage may be repositioned or altered. If the lower lateral cartilages are too long, they may be shortened and this will deproject the nasal tip. In some cases, the ligaments between the nasal septum and tip cartilage may be released to deproject the nose. Another common method is to perform a medial and/or lateral... more

Rhinoplasty

Deprojecting (or bringing the nose closer to your face) is definitely achievable with rhinoplasty surgery. An in-person consultation with photo morphing is recommended to determine the best results that still result in a natural and balanced look with the rest of your face. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can best assist you in achieving the results you seek!

Is It Possible to Get my Nose Closer to my Face? The Tip and Bridge.

Yes, Rhinoplasty can decrease the height of the nasal bridge as well as the tip projection. Aesthetically speaking, from the photos provided, these would be the main areas to address IMHO. Hope this helps.

Can I get my nose closer

Yes you can. From the photos you have shown many of your concerns are addressed in a routine rhinoplasty. you need a consult with some computer imaging to help you get on the same page with your surgeon and better articulate your goals. good luck!!

Rhinoplasty for small size face

When performing Rhinoplasty, the surgeon needs to take into account the entire facial proportions to achieve an esthetically pleasing result. Also, different parts of the nose need assessment so that the nose fits the face. In your particular case, both the bridge and the nasal tip are rather large, and both would need to be corrected. It would require a rather typical Rhinoplasty, but it takes experience, talent and esthetic sense to achieve beautiful results in Rhinoplasty. Make sure you... more

Rhinoplasty

Your posted photos support your concerns. I would not consider this a "big procedure" but that does not mean you should lower your guard when choosing a surgeon. The bridge projection can be reduced by removing some of the outer bone and cartilage edge of the bridge. The tip can be brought closer to the face by shortening the inner limb of the c-shaped tip cartilages. Your upper lip is tethered and that should be addressed at the same time if decreasing tip projection does not improve it... more

Yes its definitely possible to set your nose closer to your face

Hi Yes its definitely possible to set your nose closer to your face. Its called deprojection of your tip and take down of your dorsal height. A smaller nose will fit your face better. You do however appear to have a slight overbite situation which can make the nose "look" larger than it truly is and you need to keep that in mind. This is a complete and thorough rhinoplasty and something that only a good experienced facial plastic or plastic surgeon can get right. more

Nasal tip Rhinoplasty

The nose is the central feature of the face and therefore plays an important role in facial aesthetics. Reducing the projection of the nose (how far out it sticks) is an entirely reasonable and achievable result from surgery. Your surgery would involve (in my hands) a small incision at the base of the nose, called the columellar incision. This incision is about 4 mm long and heals imperceptibly. This plus incisions inside the nostrils would give us... more

Rhinoplasty

You are a terrific candidate for a rhinoplasty and it appears it would be rather straightforward. Your bridge needs to be lowered and you will likely need the bones broken, which is not as big a deal as it sounds. Go on a few consults so you can find a surgeon who is really good at rhinoplasty and look at their photos carefully. The total cost would be 7000 to 9000 all included.

Nasal Reduction

Your entire nose, including the tip and bridge, are too big. Projection can be reduced and the nose refined so it is proportional with the rest of your facial features. A rhinoplasty will be necessary so select an experienced surgeon who specializes in this procedure. The operation will cost between $7,000-10,000.
