Hi, I'm an 19 year old college student. Poor, and unhappy with my nose shape. So I would like to reshape my nose. I have uploaded a picture with me on the left, and my cousin whose nose I would like to have on the right.

Is it possible to receive good result with a Non-surgical nose job, or is surgery my only option? I just want a straight good looking nose. But nothing too big. It is already big as it is. Thanks. (If you need a better profile picture, I can upload another).

This profile balancing would probably enhance the overall results of your rhinoplasty. Remember, the nonsurgical approach is temporary and you will spend more in the long... more

Non-surgical rhino won't work for this.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty will not achieve what you're looking for. A surgical rhinoplasty is much more appropriate in this instance. Note, too, that your chin is much less prominent than your cousins, and this also affects the balance of the facial features, especially the nose. You might also want to consider a chin implant at the same time as the rhinoplasty. Save your pennies, though, since this is particularly not the type of surgery where you want the "low-price leader" in... more
