Could I have a nose job to make my nose smaller or less pointy? (Photo)

You can have a more refined nose that is
natural in appearance with a rhinoplasty to deproject the tip and reduce the pointy nature. I perform these surgeries with closed technique
to preserve the structure of the nose and minimize visible scarring.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

The areas that concern you
can be realistically cosmetically improved with a rhinoplasty.Keep in mind that following
advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you
exactly what to do based on limited two dimensional photos without examining
you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a
full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative
procedure would not be in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to
be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily
the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by
the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member
of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic
surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should
discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla, California
