How Can I Get My Desired Results of A Triangular Nose? Meaning, Wider on Top, With a Small Nose Tip.

The skin on my nostrils is thick and one side of my nostrils hangs down more than the other. And the bottom part of my nose i.e. nose tip and nostrils are wider than the top part of my nose, the area between the eyes (if you measure from eye to eye) I would like to have a nose similar to Alessandra Ambrosio where top part of nose is bigger and nose tip is small. Please suggest any surgeries I may need. I really want to research about nose surgery techniques. Thanks a lot.

Hard to fully explain without photographs, but your rhinoplasty may have some limitations.

Dear Swanlake2012; If one side of your nostril hangs down more than the other, that is an important issue.

You do not want the tip to be too small, and there may be limitations because of the skin thickness. It is time to do a lot of homework.

Plans for rhinoplasty

Now you have to see some surgeons to make sure that it is possible to make the changes you want. Good luck.
