Can a bulbous nose be reduced without looking weird or changing your look

Based on your photo, I think you can have a very natural result after rhinoplasty, without an operated-on look. Living in Houston, you will have access to multiple outstanding Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area who can outline their operative plan for you after a complete examination.

A: This CAN be done

Tip refinement can be accomplished by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon without making you look operated on or "different."  Under the best of circumstances, nobody will be able to tell you had a rhinoplasty, just that you look better for some unknown reason.

A: Bulbous nose can be reduced

William Portuese, MD

A bulbous nose can be reduced in size by refining the nasal tip through removal and suturing and sculpting the tip cartilages. This can be done with sutures, cartilage grafting to refine the tip but still remain the original character of the nose. The nasal bones can be narrowed through osteotomies, which will balance the tip out as well. If the rhinoplasty has been performed correctly, it will not look weird and will balance out with the remainder of the facial features.
