Is rhinoplasty right for you?
There are several reasons for which I see patients who are requesting rhinoplasty. I think that you are probably a very good candidate for rhinoplasty. You clearly do not like your nose. You have not mentioned that it is affecting your quality of life but, rather, it is a facial characteristic you would like to have improved, which, I feel is a reasonable request. You are now an adult but, you would like your family's approval before proceeding with rhinoplasty...

You should consult several Rhinoplasty specialists to see if surgery would be right for you.
I read your concerns and reviewed your photos:
From a technical standpoint, well-performed nose job surgery could lead to a more pleasing appearance. You could have your bulbous, over-projected, and droopy tip addressed. And you could have your profile hump reduced. The expertise of your surgeon is of utmost importance, so choose your surgeon wisely.
In general, it's helpful to have family support before undergoing rhinoplasty surgery. Computer-imaging is part of your...

Rhinoplasty for the Indian nose.
I'm sure that your parent's concern is that your new nose will look artificial. You can avoid this by choosing an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural noses. The recovery is a week and has minimal pain. In35 years of rhinoplasty I have never had any serious complication such as infection, bleeding etc.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Your questions and concerns are very common for Indian and Middle-Eastern patients with ethnic noses who want surgery. You have a wide nose with a boxy tip and a dorsal hump that can be significantly improved with a rhinoplasty that can be tailored to maintain your ethnicity and achieve facial harmony to give you a very natural "unoperated-on" look. However for many cultures, this goes against traditional norms by having surgery to "change your body"....

How safe is rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is relatively low risk from a medical standpoint. You will definitely see significant change in the size and shape of your nose. It will be important for you to discuss with your surgeon what your ethnic background considers pleasing and how much you want to preserve or stray from it. computer imaging may help you here.
It's discouraging when family members are not supportive. There are a variety of reasons why that occurs that range from a feeling that...

Rhinoplasty
When you look at a face and the nose stands out, the aesthetic proportions are off and could be improved and I think that is what you are noticing. Rhinoplasty done by an experienced Plastic Surgeon is a low risk operation. That said, it is also the procedure that has the highest rate of patient dissatisfaction due to unrealistic expectations. Choose a good surgeon and the doctor will help you to understand what are realistic expectations for your final result. If you both agree, then by all...

Surgical Nose Reshaping
Assuming you are healthy, you are an ideal candidate for nasal surgery anatomically speaking. Motivation for undergoing this must come from within yourself. Don't have surgery just because someone says you should, and conversely don't avoid it because someone says you shouldn't. You are of age to make your own decisions on this issue so if it bothers you then look into it, but don't jump into it. You should never undertake surgery lightly and should research any procedure...
