Rhinoplasty: Q&A

I Am Unhappy with my Nose, but Don't Know What Should Be Corrected to Make It Most Esthetically Pleasing. Please Help! (photo)

I would like my nose to have a little more deffiniton in the bridge and to look a little less wide. I dislike the small hump that seems to be most visible on my 3/4s facial profile. I want to look like me but with improved confidence and everything to be more esthetically pleasing, but I don't know what features need to be tweaked to achieve this. I would like opinions on what could be done. Also my nose widens when I smile, is this something that can be fixed but still maintain a natural look?

Best Rhinoplasty Options

Hi Mason, Great photos, you can be my office photographer anytime! Your nose is a bit large for your face, it is wide, the tip is bulbous, and the nasal tip is slightly over projected. As you note, your dorsal hump is noticable on 3/4 view. You can achieve your goals with properly performed rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty procedure for better facial balance

Mason, your photos show that your nose is modestly overprojected with a bulbous tip and subtle dorsal hump.

Rhinoplasty for the bulbous tip.

Rhinoplasty for the bulbous tip and nasal bump with a wide bridge can be refined to give a more harmonious nose while still looking natural. Choose a surgeon who is experienced and does natural noses.

Aesthetically speaking, from the photos, the nose is large with a dorsal hump and thick tip as well as nasal bones. The nose should be reduced in size and refined from top to bottom IMHO, with Rhinoplasty. Be sure the Rhinoplasty Surgeon, you choose, understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive nose.
