Can you really reduce a nose as bulbous and big like mine? (photos)

Are you a good candidate for a Rhinoplasty?
Your nasal tip can be refined and the dorsal hump removed with a standard rhinoplasty. However if the skin of the tip is very thick the resultant tip will be modestly improved. Further definition however can be achieved postoperatively with steroid injection which will thin the skin and enhance the definition of the tip, depending on how much definition you are seeking.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your two photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Dorsal hump reduction, tip deprojection, and tip elevation would also be helpful. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Hi, During a Rhinoplasty the nasal profile is changed according to the agreement between the patient and surgeon. The change includes bridge,tip, width and length. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery
process.
